Dumpling Soup Ingredients
- 5 frozen dumplings (recommend Pyeong-an style handmade dumplings)
- 3 Tbsp beef bone broth powder
- 700ml water
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 Tbsp chopped green onions
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the star ingredient for this dish: the beef bone broth powder. This powder allows you to create a rich and deep beef bone broth quickly, without any complicated steps. It’s incredibly useful for those days when you need broth in a hurry or for dishes like Budae Jjigae (Korean sausage stew) that require a beef bone broth base.
Step 2
Prepare a generous amount of green onions to enhance the broth’s flavor. Personally, I find that the refreshing and subtly sweet aroma of green onions pairs wonderfully with a rich beef bone broth, amplifying the overall taste. Chop them finely before adding.
Step 3
Now, in a pot, combine 700ml of water with 3 tablespoons of beef bone broth powder and stir well to dissolve. Once the broth begins to boil, add a generous amount of chopped green onions. Season with 1 teaspoon of black pepper for aroma, and add salt to taste according to your preference. Finally, add 5 frozen dumplings (preferably Pyeong-an style handmade dumplings) and boil until the dumplings are fully cooked. Your delicious Mandu Guk is ready!
Step 4
Behold, a hearty and appetizing bowl of beef bone broth dumpling soup! For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some savory dried seaweed flakes or top it with thinly sliced egg omelet for a visually appealing and even more delicious Mandu Guk.
Step 5
If you have chives on hand, add them as a garnish. They will soften quickly in the hot broth and complement the dumplings beautifully. You can also enjoy them fresh, so feel free to use them according to your preference. And just like that, your delicious homemade beef bone broth dumpling soup is complete!
