The recipe beneath is for how I make information technology for Joey. I know others brand it differently than I do. This is merely my personal recipe for kids. For the recipe for adults, I've added those notes.

Korean Beefiness Radish Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

(Serves 2-3 adult sized portions)

½ pounds/eight ounces shabu shabu beefiness or footing beef
- I utilize softer meats for Joey so that it's easy to chew and eat. I like the shabu shabu meat the best because information technology'due south super soft and quick to cook. Yous tin can discover them in the freezer section at asian grocery stores. For adults, you can use beef brisket, chuck or loin and slice them into seize with teeth-sized pieces every bit well.
½ pound Korean radish or daikon
- Done, peeled and chopped into seize with teeth-sized pieces
Anchovy Soup Stock (Dashi) in tea bag
- Most people don't use this to brand this recipe so you can do without it but I like to employ information technology because it adds more than flavor and depth to the soup. You tin can find these in the Korean grocery stores. If yous don't have access to this item then you tin can make your own anchovy dashi past using this recipe.
2 light-green onions, sliced thinly
Sesame seed oil
Table salt
- I utilize a Korean brand that is low sodium for kids that has added seaweed calcium. You can find this in Korean grocery stores.
Soy sauce specifically made for soup (Guk-Ganjang in Korean)
- Practice not utilize regular soy sauce as information technology will exist as well sweet. (I utilise a depression-sodium Korean make for kids that you tin can find in Korean grocery stores but for adults, yous may use a regular soup soy sauce.)
- If you don't have access to soup soy sauce, and so you can usefish sauce and taste and flavour to your preference.
Water (8 cups)
4 garlic cloves, sliced

Steps:

By the way, I don't apply exact measurements but ever taste test and then please rely on what your preference is with seasoning and conform how much water and salt you want to use.

In a big pot, add sesame seed oil and sauté the beef for a couple minutes. Add the radish pieces and sauté until they are close to being translucent. If y'all don't sauté the radish, they will hands dissolve if you merely add together them into the water to eddy.
Add h2o, garlic and the Anchovy Soup Stock bag (if you have information technology on hand), embrace and let it boil for 25 minutes on medium. The radish should await translucent. The longer you lot simmer it, the more flavour yous'll get out of the dashi, radish and beefiness. Once again, you don't have to use the Anchovy Soup Stock bag here like I do.
Utilize a fat skimmer mesh ladle to to skim the chocolate-brown grease and foam produced at the top of the pot.
Gustation test and add a couple splashes of the soup soy sauce and some salt as needed. I don't have exact measurements merely yous should be able to gauge how much you lot need past just sense of taste testing. Information technology shouldn't be also salty merely take a deep beef goop taste. Add green onions. Let information technology cook for another 5 minutes. Squeeze out the dashi in the stock purse, discard and serve the remaining soup with a bowl of rice! * For adults, you lot can use a fiddling black pepper to flavour at the end .
