Recipe 🍳

  1. In a pot, bring plenty of water to a boil with 1 large spoon of soybean paste, 6 bay leaves, and 1 spoon of whole peppercorns.
  2. Once the water starts boiling, add 300g of beef intestine and simmer for 30 minutes to remove any off-flavors.
  3. After boiling, transfer the beef intestine to a pan and grill until golden brown. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Use the fat rendered from the grilled intestine to stir-fry 300g of old kimchi as if frying it, removing excess oil if necessary.
  4. When the kimchi turns golden brown, add 7 spoons of red pepper powder, 7 spoons of light soy sauce, 2 spoons of minced garlic, 2 spoons of sugar, 2 spoons of corn syrup, 1 large spoon of gochujang, and 1/2 spoon of beef dashi. Stir to mix and simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Add 1.2kg of chicken, 1 potato, 1/2 to 1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 green onion, and 2 green chili peppers. Continue cooking until all ingredients are fully cooked.
  6. Garnish with a little scallion and perilla seed powder before serving.
