This is a westernized-version of a spicy Korean beef soup. The real thing is made with beef, tripe, and a small beef intestine. I'll include an authentic recipe after the westernized-version.
-clay
1 pound Braising Beef
8 cup Water
1 ½ tablespoon Hot chili powder
2 tablespoon Sesame Oil
12 Green Onions
2 teaspoon Crushed garlic
1 tablespoon White Sesame Seeds, Toasted and Ground
1 teaspoon Sugar
½ teaspoon White Pepper
1 ½ tablespoon Dark soy sauce
This chili-red soup is exceptionally hot. It is said that the time to serve it is in the hottest months, when the perspiration it induces has a cooling effect on the diner. It is equally effective ammunition against winter cold Cut the beef into cubes and place in a saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1-½ to 2 hours until the meat is falling apart.
Mix the chili powder with the sesame oil. Trim and shred the green onions. Heat the chili powder and sesame oil in a pan and fry the green onions with he garlic for 2 minutes. Add the sesame seeds, sugar, pepper and soy sauce and fry for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat.
Lift out the meat, drain well and toss in the pan for a few minutes. Return the contents of the pan to the stock and bring to a boil, simmering until the soup is well flavored.
