Instructions

Step 1

Chop the garlic, beef, and radish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, add sesame oil and saute the beef. Once the beef has just turned brown but is still red on the inside (about 4 minutes), add garlic and saute for just a minute. Then add the chopped radish and saute for about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add water to the pot. Once the water has come to a boil, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Leave the lid slightly ajar and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Use a large spoon to skim off any scum that rises to the top.

Step 4

Add green onions, soup soy sauce, dashida powder, and white ground pepper. Taste and add additional salt if needed.

Step 5

Ladle the soup into individual bowls and top with thinly sliced green onion (*optional). Enjoy with rice, kimchi, and other Korean side dishes.
