Ingredients
  

For the Broth
  • 2 pounds Beef Short Ribs Can substitute with beef shank or oxtail.
  • 1 Korean Leek Substitute with regular leeks or a mix of green onions and chives.
  • 6 cloves Garlic Freshly chopped for best results.
  • 1 whole Yellow Onion Include with skin on for enhanced flavor.
  • 1 cup Korean Radish Regular radish can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Guk Ganjang (Korean Soup Soy Sauce) Substitute with regular soy sauce mixed with fish sauce or tamari.
For the Soup
  • 14 ounces Soft Tofu Soft tofu is preferred for creaminess.
  • 3 stalks Green Onions Freshly sliced for garnish.

Equipment

  • large stock pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak the beef short ribs in cold water for 1 hour to draw out excess blood for a cleaner broth.
  2. While the beef is soaking, prepare the aromatics: keep the yellow onion whole, finely chop garlic, and rinse green onions.
  3. In a large stock pot, combine the soaked beef ribs, chopped ginger, whole onion, cleaned green onions, and 10 cups of water.
  4. Bring to a vigorous boil over medium-high heat, skimming foam from the surface to achieve a clear broth.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the broth simmer uncovered for 1 hour to tenderize the beef.
  6. Add the radish slices to the pot and continue to simmer for 20 minutes until the radish is fork-tender.
  7. Discard all the aromatics and season the soup with guk ganjang, sea salt, and chopped garlic.
  8. Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of black pepper.
