Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the ingredients for the broth of our Beef and Mushroom Hot Pot. You’ll need 8g of dried kelp, 100g of radish, 20g of green onion roots, 20g of dried anchovies for broth, 25g of dried pollock viscera, and 1 Cheongyang pepper for a little heat.
Step 2
Fill a pot with enough water to make the broth. About 2 liters of water should be sufficient.
Step 3
Place the anchovies, kelp, green onion roots, and pollock viscera into a broth bag or a piece of cheesecloth. Cut the radish into bite-sized pieces and add it to the pot as well.
Step 4
Once the water comes to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for about 30 minutes after removing the broth bag. This process will extract a rich and deep flavor for your broth.
Step 5
To add a basic seasoning to the broth, stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for soup. Taste and add a little more if needed.
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the main ingredients for our Beef and Mushroom Hot Pot. We need 300g of shiitake mushrooms, 1 pack of king oyster mushrooms, 3 packs of enoki mushrooms, and 2 packs of Buna-shimeji mushrooms. For freshness and crunch, prepare 280g of baby bok choy, 180g of Napa cabbage, and 120g of garlic chives. We also need a large handful of green onion (about 30g), 1.5 onions, 4 tablespoons of minced garlic, and 300g of beef, thinly sliced for bulgogi. Finally, gather your seasoning ingredients: 1 teaspoon of salt, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce for soup, a pinch of black pepper, 3 tablespoons of mirin, and 6 tablespoons of red pepper flakes (gochugaru).
Step 7
Marinating the beef beforehand will make it more tender and flavorful. While beef brisket (chadolbagi) is also delicious, we’re using thinly sliced bulgogi-style beef for a softer texture today. Cut the beef into 6 equal, bite-sized pieces.
Step 8
Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the beef for marinating. This helps to eliminate any gamey odors.
Step 9
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the beef to enhance its aroma.
Step 10
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for soup to the beef. This will add a savory depth of flavor.
Step 11
Mix in 1 tablespoon of mirin. This will help tenderize the beef and further reduce any unwanted smells.
Step 12
Gently massage the seasonings into the beef with your hands until well combined. This completes the marinating process for the beef. Let it sit for a while.
Step 13
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables for the hot pot. Slice the onions into thick strips.
Step 14
Cut the fragrant garlic chives into four pieces, making them a convenient length for eating.
Step 15
Chop the crisp baby Napa cabbage into large, bite-sized pieces.
Step 16
For the king oyster mushrooms, cut them in half lengthwise, then slice them into thick strips. This way, they will have a more pleasing texture when cooked.
Step 17
Remove the tough stems from the shiitake mushrooms and slice the caps into strips.
Step 18
Now, let’s make the seasoning sauce, which is key to the deliciousness of our hot pot. Add a generous 3 tablespoons of minced garlic for a rich flavor base.
Step 19
Add 3 tablespoons of mirin to balance the flavors and further remove any odors.
Step 20
Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for soup to provide the fundamental seasoning for the hot pot.
Step 21
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Step 22
Add 6 tablespoons of red pepper flakes (gochugaru) for a spicy kick. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your taste.
Step 23
Add a little black pepper to enhance the aroma of the seasoning sauce.
Step 24
To achieve the right consistency, add about 45g (approximately 3 tablespoons) of water to the seasoning mixture.
Step 25
Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until well combined. Your delicious and appetizing Beef and Mushroom Hot Pot seasoning sauce is now ready! It looks incredibly inviting.
Step 26
Arrange the prepared mushrooms (Buna-shimeji, shiitake, king oyster, enoki), onions, baby bok choy, Napa cabbage, and garlic chives attractively in a wide hot pot. You can also add a few dumplings for an even heartier meal!
Step 27
Place the marinated beef in the center of the hot pot for a beautiful presentation. Adding a few slices of shiitake mushroom on top as a garnish will make it even more appealing.
Step 28
Have your prepared rich and flavorful broth ready. This broth is essential for the hot pot’s taste.
Step 29
Once all the ingredients are arranged in the pot, ladle the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over them. Pour in enough broth so that the ingredients are about halfway submerged. It’s a good idea not to add all the broth at once; you can add more as it simmers and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Step 30
As the hot pot begins to boil, add the chopped green onions for a final touch of freshness and aroma.
Step 31
Voila! Your hearty and delicious Beef and Mushroom Hot Pot is complete! Enjoy a wonderful meal with this warming soup.
