Core Ingredients- 1 pack store-bought Seolleongtang broth (approx. 1L)
- 1 serving fresh Kalguksu noodles
- 1 egg
Flavor Enhancers- 50g minced beef
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup mushrooms (e.g., shiitake or oyster), sliced
- 1/4 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
- 50g minced beef
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup mushrooms (e.g., shiitake or oyster), sliced
- 1/4 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk it thoroughly with a fork or chopsticks. Prepare your vegetables: slice the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the green onion. (Tip: Using shiitake mushrooms will add a more robust aroma!)
Step 2
Lightly grease a pan with oil and add the minced beef and minced garlic. Sauté over medium-low heat until the beef is browned and the garlic is fragrant. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and stir-fry briefly until they soften slightly. Remove the sautéed mushrooms and set them aside with the beef.
Step 4
Now, let’s get the broth simmering. Pour the store-bought Seolleongtang broth into a pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the broth is boiling, carefully add the Kalguksu noodles, separating them so they don’t clump together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook until the noodles are tender, usually about 5-7 minutes. (Tip: Refer to the noodle package for cooking time, but be careful not to overcook them until mushy.)
Step 6
When the noodles are cooked, gently pour the whisked egg into the simmering broth, avoiding the cooked beef and mushrooms. Let the egg cook until it forms soft ribbons.
Step 7
Once the egg is cooked, add the sliced green onions to the pot and simmer for another minute. Taste the broth and season with salt if needed. Add a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor.
Step 8
Ladle the Kalguksu noodles and broth into a serving bowl. Generously top with the reserved sautéed beef and mushrooms. Your rich and savory Seolleongtang Kalguksu is now ready to enjoy!
