Sundae-guk Ingredients (Serves 1)- 300g store-bought beef bone broth (Sagol soup)
- Sundae (Korean blood sausage, as desired)
- Offal (e.g., tripe, liver, as desired)
- 1/3 stalk large green onion (scallion)
- A handful of chives
- 1 Tbsp perilla seed powder
- 1 tsp salted shrimp
Seasoning Mix (Dadaegi)- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp soup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp beef bone broth
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp soup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp beef bone broth
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, combine the 300g of store-bought beef bone broth with 1/2 cup of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for a short while to deepen the flavor.
Step 2
While the broth is simmering, prepare your sundae and offal in an earthenware pot (ttukbaegi). Cut them into bite-sized pieces. Once the beef bone broth is boiling, carefully ladle the hot broth into the earthenware pot. It’s best to fill it enough to cover the ingredients.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the seasoning mix, or ‘dadaegi,’ which adds a rich flavor to the sundae-guk. In a small bowl, mix together 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1/2 Tbsp soup soy sauce, 1 Tbsp beef bone broth, and a pinch of black pepper. This dadaegi will be added later to enhance the deep, savory taste of the soup.
Step 4
Once the sundae-guk in the earthenware pot begins to boil again, add 1 tsp of salted shrimp to season the soup to your liking. Salted shrimp is the secret ingredient for adding a savory depth and umami to the broth.
Step 5
When the soup is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat. Finely chop about 1/3 of a large green onion and add it to the pot. Also, chop a handful of chives into appropriate sizes and add them in. The fresh aroma of the green onions and chives will further enhance the soup’s overall flavor.
Step 6
Finally, generously sprinkle 1 Tbsp of perilla seed powder over the soup for a nutty and rich finish. Your delicious sundae-guk is now ready! Enjoy it while it’s hot.
