Recipe 🍳

  1. Before starting, soak the firm wide glass noodles and tofu skin in cold water until softened.
  2. Place makchang in a dry pan, sprinkle with cooking wine and black pepper to remove any gamey smell, then cook thoroughly until the surface turns brown and crispy.
  3. Add mala tang sauce, gochugaru, minced garlic, and peanut butter to the browned makchang, and stir-fry until the seasoning is absorbed into the surface.
  4. Line the bottom of a jeongol pot evenly with prepared vegetables such as napa cabbage, bok choy, bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms, and garland chrysanthemum to form a base.
  5. Place the soaked glass noodles, tofu skin, and beef belly on top of the vegetables, then generously add the spicy stir-fried makchang on top.
  6. Pour beef bone broth and water along the edge of the pot until just covered, then bring to a boil and simmer until all ingredients have released their deep flavors.
  1. Soak the glass noodles and tofu skin. Pan-fry the makchang with cooking wine and black pepper until dry and crispy.
  2. Add mala tang sauce, gochugaru, minced garlic, and peanut butter to the cooked makchang and stir-fry.
  3. Assemble vegetables, meat, noodles, and stir-fried makchang in a pot, add beef bone broth and water, and boil thoroughly.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Makchang tends to have a strong gamey odor, so it's important to cook off all moisture until the fat renders and the surface becomes fried and crispy, leaving only a nutty flavor.
  • Adding a small amount of peanut butter softens the fiery mala spiciness and enhances the deep umami of the broth.
