- 250g Bean Sprouts
- 5 Korean Green Peppers (Kkwari Gochu)
- 1 Green Onion
- 1 Chili Pepper (Cheongyang Gochu)
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
Seasoning Ingredients- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Wine (Mirin)
- 1 Tbsp Corn Syrup (or Oligodang)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Wine (Mirin)
- 1 Tbsp Corn Syrup (or Oligodang)

- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently press the beef brisket slices with paper towels to remove any excess blood. This step helps ensure a cleaner taste and prevents any unwanted gamey flavor.
Step 2
Cut the beef brisket into bite-sized pieces. Trim the stems off the Korean green peppers, chili pepper, and red bell pepper, then slice them diagonally. Chop the green onion into large pieces. For the bean sprouts, pick out any damaged or discolored ones, then rinse them thoroughly under cold running water about three times. Drain them well in a colander to remove excess moisture, as this is key to achieving a crisp texture without sogginess.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine, corn syrup, and minced garlic. Whisk everything together until well combined to create a flavorful sauce. Having this sauce ready beforehand makes the stir-frying process quick and easy.
Step 4
Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. This process infuses the oil with aromatics, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish. (Tip: You can also use thinly sliced garlic instead of minced garlic.)
Step 5
Once the aromatics are fragrant, add the prepared beef brisket to the pan. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly. Beef brisket cooks very fast, so high heat and rapid cooking will help maintain its tender texture.
Step 6
When the beef brisket is almost fully cooked, add the prepared bean sprouts to the pan. It’s best to add the bean sprouts right after the beef is nearly done, as they can become soggy if overcooked.
Step 7
Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and bean sprouts. Stir-fry vigorously over high heat for about a minute, just until the bean sprouts are slightly wilted but still retain their crispness. Avoid overcooking to maintain their delightful crunch.
Step 8
Add the sliced red bell pepper and Korean green peppers for color and extra flavor. (Tip: Feel free to add more chili peppers for extra heat, or omit the bell peppers and Korean green peppers if preferred.) Drizzle in the sesame oil at the end for a nutty aroma.
Step 9
Season with black pepper to taste. If needed, add a pinch of salt to adjust the seasoning to your preference. This final adjustment ensures the dish is perfectly balanced.
Step 10
Transfer the finished beef brisket and bean sprout stir-fry to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a final touch of flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy your delicious homemade dish!
