This Man's Cook Yukgaejang

Quick and simple yukgaejang with a rich, savory flavor made by stir-frying gochugaru in the oil from tender beef, then boiling with generous amounts of green onion and mushrooms for a bold, spicy-sweet broth.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Cooking tips

  • Mixing a small amount of vegetable oil with sesame oil raises the smoke point, preventing the sesame oil from burning when sautéing meat.
  • Sautéing gochugaru directly in the beef fat produces a much richer, deeper, and spicier flavor than using store-bought gochujang.
  • Be sure to sauté the green onions thoroughly until they soften and become translucent to fully develop their sweet, savory umami depth in the broth.
  • Avoid adding extra soy sauce at the end if adjusting seasoning—this can darken the broth. Always use salt instead for final adjustments.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a restaurant-quality yukgaejang at home quickly without long simmering times.
  • People looking to enjoy the perfect balance of spicy, hearty broth and sweet, savory green onions.
  • Individuals seeking a warming, satisfying beef soup to comfort the body on cold days.
