Mushroom soup

Beoseot-deulkkae-tang 버섯들깨탕

Korean mushroom soup (Beoseot-deulkkae-tang: 버섯들깨탕) is a delicious, nutritious, savory soup made with mushrooms and perilla seeds powder. The perilla seeds powder makes the broth soft and nutty, and the beef brisket and the mushrooms are chewy, soft, and crispy, giving this soup a very unique taste and texture.

You could make it with just one kind of mushroom but I suggest you use a few different varieties so your soup has different tastes and textures. I used shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, white beech mushrooms, white mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms, but you could use any other types of mushrooms. Add a bit of beef and this becomes a nutritious, delicious, and hearty meal a family of 4 can enjoy! If you’re a vegetarian, skip the beef and use vegetable stock instead of the water.

Enjoy this soup and let me know how yours turns out if you try it!

    I’ve made this soup 3 times now and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites! The first time I made it I had to use toasted, ground Sesame seed powder. My first reaction was to add some lime juice to balance out the earthy flavor. I was unable to find Perilla seed powder at the Korean market so I ordered some on-line. Ended up being sent from So. Korea! The real deal. But in the meantime, from one of the comments here, I found the Perilla powder with the rice and wheat flour at the market. However, I saw that it contained corn starch, so I have only used the powder from Korea. It makes all the difference in the world! The Perilla thickens the soup in a way the Sesame does not. Perilla is an acquired taste, but I love it. Now, my favorite way of serving the soup is with a drizzlie of Perilla oil on top to finish and a squirt of lemon or lime. Heaven!

    Can you use sesame seed paste or tahini for this recipe? Perilla seed flour or seeds are hard to come by here.

    This is one of my many favorite recipes, I make it all the time! Tonight I used fresh king trumpets, cremini, shiitake, and a handful of dried mushroom mix from Costco, including porcini and black trumpet. I’ve used both rice flour and regular flour and prefer regular flour, gives it a creamier texture. Will serve it tonight Italian style, with grilled bread crostini on the side, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. We live in Seattle and Abruzzo, Italy, and I finally found a good Korean market in Rome (it’s by the Termini train station.)

    My husband and I absolutely love this soup. The first time I made it, I couldn’t find perilla seed powder. But, we’ve recently discovered a Korean grocery store that carries it. Thank you so much for sharing all your recipes. I’ve probably made dozens and dozens of them, all of which are amazing!

    p.s. We went to the meetup you scheduled in Seoul this past May. It was so great meeting you!

      Wow, it looks like mine!
      Perilla seed powder makes this stew special, but if you can’t find it, toasted perilla seed powder also works well.
      Oh, you came to the meetup in Seoul? I can’t see your face here so I can’t remember you! lol
