• Minced garlic: 1 tablespoon (T)
• Soy sauce for soup (Guk-ganjang): 4 tablespoons (T)

Instructions

• Prepare thinly sliced beef and radish. Remember, the thinner the radish, the quicker it cooks.
• In a pot, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat and start frying the beef.
• When the beef is half-cooked, add 4 tablespoons of soy sauce for soup. This is a unique step that enhances the flavor of the beef.
• Add the sliced radish to the beef and stir-fry.

• Pour a little anchovy broth over the mixture, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil on high heat. Repeat this process three times for a deeper flavor.
• Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
• Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and chopped green onion to the soup. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount to 0.5 tablespoon.

• Let the soup simmer until all ingredients are well-cooked.
