A traditional Korean soup

Full of deliciousness and nutrition. Tender beef, fresh daikon radish, and aromatic green onions are exquisitely harmonized. The soup has a deep yet refreshing flavor, revitalizing a tired body.

Its deliciousness and health benefits are appealing, and it's easy to make, making it perfect as an introduction to the charm of Korean cuisine.

1. Preparing the beef

Soak the beef (for stew) in cold water to drain the blood.
(This prevents the soup from becoming cloudy)

Marinate the beef with light soy sauce, grated garlic, salt, pepper, and sesame oil.

2. Making the soup base

Cut the daikon radish into thin cubes and stir-fry it with the beef in a pot with sesame oil.

3. Seasoning the soup

Add water and a piece of kombu seaweed, bring to a boil, then remove the kombu. Season with light soy sauce and salt.

4. Finishing the soup

Skim off any scum during cooking. Once the daikon radish turns translucent, add green onions, ginger, and pepper, and it's done.
