HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Rinse the beef brisket under cold water and pat dry. Cut into 1-inch pieces.

02

In a large pot, add the beef and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.

03

Add the sliced daikon radish, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

04

Increase heat to medium-high and bring the soup back to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for another 20 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the radish is translucent.

05

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions before serving hot.

Chef's Tips

For a richer broth, you can lightly brown the beef pieces in a tablespoon of neutral oil before adding water. This adds an extra layer of flavor through caramelization.

Easy Substitutions

If daikon radish is unavailable, you can use regular white radish, though the texture and flavor will be slightly different. For a vegetarian version, omit the beef and use vegetable broth, adding firm tofu cubes instead.
