Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound beef rib eye or top sirloin - see note, thinly sliced

For the Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or use more sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine for cooking, also known as Mirim or Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons Asian pear or apple, grated, Korean/Asian
  • teaspoon black pepper

For the Broth (see note)

  • 3 Kelp dashima, 3 inches, dried
  • 3 ounces Korean radish cut into big chunks
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce soup type
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

For the vegetables

  • 1 carrot small
  • 2 Napa cabbage or green cabbage or bok choy, large leaves
  • 1/2 onion medium
  • 4 ounces mushroom button, shiitake, oyster, crimini, enoki, etc, assorted
  • 2 to 3 scallions
  • 2 to 3 ounces minari water dropwort or watercress
  • 1 red chili pepper optional

For the optional noodles

  • 3 ounces sweet potato noodles dangmyeon, soaked in warm water for 20 minutes

Instructions

  1. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. If using packaged pre-sliced meat, run a knife through it to cut into smaller pieces. Add the meat to the marinade. Toss gently, with hands, to mix everything well. Marinate while preparing the other ingredients.
  2. Put 5 cups of water and the broth vegetables in a medium size pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil for about 15 minutes. Discard the vegetables. Season with the soup soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cut the cabbage and carrot into thin, bite size pieces. Thinly slice the onion and mushrooms. Cut the scallions and minari in similar lengths.
  4. Using a wide, shallow pot, neatly arrange the bulgogi and vegetables in clusters. Add the optional noodles. Pour in 2 to 3 cups of broth and cook over high heat, separating the bulgogi pieces. Depending on the pot size, you can cook in two batches or add more broth and any remaining ingredients while eating if you’re cooking at the table.

Notes

  • If you buy pre-sliced bulgogi meat, pay a little more to get good quality meat. If cutting the beef at home, partially freeze for about an hour to firm it up for easier slicing. Cut across the grain into very thin slices.You can use any type of broth (beef broth, anchovy broth, etc.) or simply use water.
