Ingredients
- 10.6 oz beef (soup cut or bulgogi cut)
- 4.2 oz bean sprouts
- 5.3 oz soaked bracken
- 1 handful (5.3 oz) oyster mushrooms
- 2 stalks green onion
- 4 pieces kelp, 2 inches each
- 1 quart water
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons soup soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- black pepper, a little
Method
- Steep the kelp in the water for at least 10 minutes to make a kelp stock, and soak the beef in plain water to draw out the blood.
- Trim the oyster mushrooms, cut the soaked bracken into bite-size pieces and cut the green onions into roughly 2-inch lengths.
- Heat the cooking oil, sesame oil, chili flakes and half the green onion in a pot over low heat, stirring so the flakes do not scorch.
- Add the drained beef to the chili oil and stir-fry, then add the soup soy sauce and stir-fry again until the meat is coated.
- Add the bean sprouts, oyster mushrooms and bracken and toss them through the beef once more.
- Pour in the kelp stock, season with the salt and black pepper, and bring the yukgaejang to a boil.
- Cover and boil for about 10 minutes, stir in the minced garlic and remaining green onion, and boil briefly again, adjusting the salt.
- Drizzle the beaten egg over the surface of the soup to finish.
