Recipe 🍳
- In a deep frying pan or pot, add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom. Add the roughly chopped scallions, chili flakes, and soup soy sauce.
- Stir-fry over medium-low heat, being careful not to burn the chili flakes, until the scallions are wilted and soft, and the oil turns red and fragrant.
- Once the scallions are well cooked and aromatic, pour in 1L of water and turn the heat to high to bring to a boil.
- When the water comes to a rolling boil, add the seasoning packet and vegetable flakes from the Sari Gomtang noodles, followed by the noodles themselves.
- While the noodles cook, crack 2 eggs into a bowl and beat them well with chopsticks until smooth, without lumps.
- When the noodles are fully cooked and tender, slowly drizzle the beaten egg around the edge of the pot. Let it simmer for just a moment, then turn off the heat.

Cooking tips 💡
- Be generous with the scallions—add as much as you think is too much. That's how you get the deep, refreshing flavor of authentic yukgaejang.
- If the heat is too high, the chili flakes will burn and turn bitter. Start by stir-frying the scallions first, then add the chili flakes over medium-low heat to slowly extract the oil.
- If you have budget to spare or leftover beef (brisket) or mushrooms in the fridge, add them in the first step along with the scallions to elevate the broth.
