Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by introducing the ingredients. I’m using ‘O Price Sundae’ and ‘Chilgap Foods Rich Beef Bone Broth’. Feel free to use your favorite brands.
Step 2
To prevent the sundae from falling apart during cooking, slice it into thick pieces, about 2-3 cm in length.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the ingredients for the spicy seasoning paste (dadaegi), which is crucial for the stew’s flavor. Have everything measured and ready.
Step 4
Finely chop the green onions. Some will go into the seasoning paste, and the rest will be used as a fresh garnish.
Step 5
If you like a bit of extra heat, chop one Cheongyang chili pepper. This will add a nice kick and aroma to your stew.
Step 6
In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. This is the aromatic base for our seasoning paste.
Step 7
Next, add 2 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). This will give the paste its vibrant color and spicy flavor.
Step 8
Add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Since store-bought beef bone broth can sometimes be a bit mild, seasoning the paste beforehand will result in a much richer overall flavor.
Step 9
Add about two-thirds of the chopped green onions to the seasoning paste. We’ll reserve the remaining one-third for garnish to maintain a fresh onion flavor and texture.
Step 10
Mix all the ingredients for the paste thoroughly. Your flavorful dadaegi is now ready! Don’t worry if the green onions seem abundant; they will soften and reduce in volume as they sit.
Step 11
Pour the store-bought beef bone broth into a pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the sliced sundae. Let it simmer for about 4-5 minutes until the sundae is cooked through. That’s it for the basic stew!
Step 12
Ladle the hot stew into a bowl. Top generously with the prepared spicy seasoning paste, the reserved fresh green onions, chopped Cheongyang chili peppers (if using), a good amount of perilla seed powder, and a pinch of black pepper. The combination of savory broth, tender sundae, and the spicy, nutty toppings is truly delightful. With such simple ingredients and an easy method, you can enjoy a satisfying bowl of Sundae Gukbap at home anytime!
