This time I posted spicy beef and vegetable soup (Yuk Gae Jang) on YouTube.
Ingredients:
1 Lb of beef brisket, half an onion, water, 12 green onions, 5 cups of bean sprouts, fern brakes (kosari), 1 stalk of celery, garlic, hotpepper flakes, sesame oil, vegetable oil, salt, soy sauce, and black pepper
- In a big pot, add beef brisket, 14-15 cups of water, and half an onion, then boil it for 40-50 minutes over high heat.
- Cut the green onions, celery, and fern brakes (kosari) into pieces about 7 cm in length. Put them all into a big bowl.
- Put 3 tbs hotpepper flakes, 1 tbs of sesame oil, 1 tbs of vegetable oil, 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 tbs of salt, and some grounded black pepper into a small bowl and mix it. This is your hotpepper oil sauce.
- Put the hotpepper oil sauce into the vegetables mixture and mix them all up.
- When the beef is well cooked, take it out and set it aside to cool down.
- Add the mixture of vegetables and hotpepper oil sauce into the boiling beef stock. Boil it for 20-30 minutes.
- Slice the beef thinly and add it into the boiling soup. Cook it about 5-10 minutes more.
Serve with rice. Enjoy it!
hi I went to the Korean grocery once and I saw something that looked like dried kosari, but on the bag it said ’sweet potato stems’ or something like that. Do you know what it is (perhaps bad translation of kosari?) and how to prepare it? Sorry I don’t have a photo, perhaps I will buy it next time just to be curious.
Hi, i know what you mean i saw this product too before, but they are different things. I don’t know an application for the ’sweet potato stems’.
Kosari usually has ‘fernbrake’ or ‘dried bracken’ on the package.
Yes, “sweet potato stems” is different from kosari. I think the bag of dried vegetables is sweet potato stem as it says. It’s called “goguma julgi namul” in Korean. You will have to soak it in warm water overnight and cook it just like dried kosari. http://www.maangchi.com/ingredients/kosari
I will post the recipe for sweet potato stems someday in the future.
