It’s easier than ever to recreate restaurant-quality flavor at home!
Main Ingredients
- Mokuchon Hanwoo Beef for Stew (1 serving)
- Prepared Ugeoji (aged cabbage) (a handful)
- Mokuchon Saengsaeng Beef Ugeoji Soup 1 pack
- Chili pepper (1, to taste)
- Green onion (1/2 stalk)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the ugeoji into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm long. If they are too long, they may not soften well in the stew, so aim for a manageable length.
Step 2
Thinly slice the green onion diagonally. Slice the chili pepper diagonally or into small rounds, depending on your preference. If you like it spicier, consider using a Cheongyang chili pepper.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the cut ugeoji with 1 Tbsp of minced garlic, 1/2 Tbsp of gochugaru, 1/2 Tbsp of gochujang, 1/2 Tbsp of doenjang, and a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix everything together with your hands, like you’re massaging it, to let the seasonings penetrate the cabbage.
Step 4
Lightly oil a pot with perilla oil and add the Mokuchon Hanwoo beef. Stir-fry over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink and a savory aroma is released. Sautéing the beef well beforehand will significantly deepen the broth’s flavor.
Step 5
Pour the Mokuchon Saengsaeng Beef Ugeoji Soup (1 pack) into the pot with the sautéed beef and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium.
Step 6
As the soup begins to boil, add all the seasoned ugeoji. Use a spoon or spatula to gently separate the pieces and allow them to cook in the broth.
Step 7
Once the ugeoji is tender and the soup has simmered for a bit longer, add the prepared green onions and chili peppers. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Finally, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning by adding a little more doenjang if needed or a pinch of salt.
Step 8
Enjoy your hearty and savory Beef and Ugeoji Soybean Paste Stew, perfect for warming you up on a cold day! This is truly a top-notch homemade dish that will make you want to finish every last spoonful with a bowl of rice. 😊
