Recipe
Cooking tips
- Always soak the beef in sugar water for exactly 20 minutes according to the recipe, then rinse thoroughly under running water and pat dry before use.
- The use of aromatics in holiday or ancestral offerings varies by region and family tradition, so confirm your household’s specific customs first.
- Frying the tofu before adding it prevents the broth from clouding during cooking and stops the tofu from breaking apart, while also enhancing its savory depth.
- Avoid using too much soy sauce, as it can darken the otherwise clear broth. If the broth is too light in flavor, balance it with salt instead to keep it clean and refreshing.
Recommended for
- Those who want to serve a classic, authentic soup on traditional holiday offerings during Chuseok or Lunar New Year.
- People seeking a deep, clear broth flavor from beef and seafood without using any aromatic vegetables.
- Individuals looking for a soothing, non-spicy, refreshing soup perfect for post-holiday digestion.
