Recipe Ingredients:

• 3 lb beef short rib (kalbi 갈비)
• 1 l/2 lb beef brisket
• 1 l/2 Korean white radish (moo 무)
• 1 small piece of ginger
• 10 peeled garlic pieces
• 1 leek
• 2 tbsp rice wine
• 3-4 tbsp clear soy sauce (guk ganjang 국간장)
• 2 bunches of green onion
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 egg
• handful of threaded dry pepper (shilgochu 실고추)

Recipe Steps:

• Soak ribs and brisket in cold water for 1 hour, changing water 2-3 times to get the blood out.
• Put ribs and meat in a large pot with enough water to cover. When it starts boiling, after a couple of minutes, take out the meat and ribs and wash in clean water. Discard the boiled water.
• Put meat back into the pot and add about 1 ½ gallons of water. Bring it to boil.
• Peel the radish, cut leeks in half, slice ginger and slice garlic (save 1 clove and mince). Add everything into the pot, along with the rice wine. Return to a boil, and remove the radish when it is tender, after about ½ hour (test it with a chopstick). Let the radish cool.
• When radish cools off, cut into bite sized, thin slices. Season it with 1 tbsp of soy sauce, some of the finely chopped green onion, minced garlic, sesame oil and black pepper.
• Remove ribs after boiling about 1½ hrs, cook brisket for another 30-40 mins. When brisket is tender, take it out, and cut into bite size.
• Strain the remaining soup and remove any leftover ingredients from the soup. Strain the soup stock through a sieve to get rid of fat. If you cook ahead time, you can put the stock in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or over night and it will be an effective way of getting rid of the hardened fat.
• Fry egg white and yolk separately into thin crepes. Cut into thin string-like shapes.
• Season the soup stock adding 2-3 tbsp of light soy sauce, and 1 tbsp salt. Put back ribs and seasoned brisket, seasoned radish and bring it to quick boil.
• Add salt to taste and serve with chopped green onion, thin cut fried egg strips, and thin threaded hot pepper.
