KEY INGREDIENTS

Rice Cake | Anchovy Stock Green Onions | Onion Carrot | Garlic | Soy Sauce Salt | Black Pepper Beef Stew Meat | Sugar Rice Cooking Wine | Sesame Oil Eggs

THE INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the anchovy stock Rinse and soak rice cake in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Whip eggs and season. Pour into a hot pan then immediately lift off the heat. Swirl egg around the pan to spread it evenly, making a thin crepe-like pancake.

Cut the egg into little strips. Slice the meat into thin strips and season it with soy sauce, sugar, mirin, garlic, pepper and sesame oil. Mix it well. Cook the beef in a frying pan on medium high heat until fully cooked.

Heat anchovy stock. Season soup by adding salt, gook kanjang and chopped garlic. If using, add carrots and onion. Drain rice cake slices and add to the boiling soup. Cover and cook for few minutes. When rice cakes float to the top, they are now cooked and ready to eat.

Garnish with beef, egg, green onions and roasted seaweed. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and extra black pepper if you’d like and there you go!
