Method

Preparation of Broth

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot, add the beef brisket and cover it with 2 liters of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Broth

    Reduce heat to medium-low and let the beef simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove the beef and set it aside to cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Broth Base

    Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any impurities and return the broth to the pot.

Flavoring the Soup

  1. 4

    Add Seasonings

    To the strained broth, add Korean red pepper flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt. Stir well to combine.

  2. 5

    Shred the Beef

    Once the beef has cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces and add it back into the pot.

Adding Vegetables

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the green onions, mince the garlic, slice the mushrooms, and julienne the carrot.

  2. 7

    Add to the Soup

    Add the green onions, garlic, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and carrot to the pot. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Final Touches

  1. 8

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using tofu, cut it into cubes and add it to the soup. If you like, you can also crack the eggs directly into the pot and stir gently to create egg ribbons.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
