Korean Beef Noodles Seoul Food Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in warm water to soften, 5 to 10 minutes, then drain and snip into pieces with kitchen shears. Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, 3 tablespoons sesame oil, the garlic, brown sugar and vinegar in a bowl. Put the beef in another bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce mixture. Heat 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the onion and 1 teaspoon salt and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the beef and stir-fry until just cooked through. Transfer to a bowl. Rinse and wipe out the skillet, return to the heat and add 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Add the mushrooms and carrots; stir-fry 3 minutes. Add the noodles and 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce mixture and stir-fry 1 minute; add 1/3 cup water and cook until the noodles are just tender, 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the beef. Wipe out the skillet, return to the heat and add the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Add the spinach and the remaining soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add to the beef and toss.

Steps:

• Cut the brisket into two or more pieces against the grain, so that the grain is about 2 inches in length. Season with salt and pepper and mix with the garlic, soy, and sugar. Turn to coat all sides.
• Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the oils. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until aromatic, stirring frequently. Add the brisket, water, the anchovies, kombu, and scallion whites. Bring to a boil, then turn to a simmer until the brisket is fork tender, about 3½ hours, adding water as necessary to keep the meat submerged.
• Remove the meat and shred into bite-sized pieces. Remove and discard the kombu. For the broth, add the fish sauce and soy sauce to the cooking liquid. Taste and add more sugar, salt and pepper as needed. Add the daikon and bring back to a boil. Add the zucchini and bring back to a boil.
• In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil; add enough salt to make the water as "salty as seawater." Add udon noodles to reheat according to package instructions. Divide the udon among 4 soup bowls; then top with the shredded meat, broth, and cooked vegetables. Garnish with scallion greens and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Slice beef thinly across the grain into pieces about 3-inches long (doing this while beef is partially frozen is best).
• Bring beef to room temperature.
• In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until sugar dissolves; set aside until needed.
• Cook the noodles in boiling water about 8-10 minutes or until tender; drain.
• While noodles are cooking, cook mushrooms in oil in a small skillet until softened, then remove and drain away the liquid that collects.
• Add the garlic, scallions and hot peppers to the skillet and cook on high for about 1 minute or until pepper becomes aromatic.
• Then add the carrot, steak and mushrooms.
• Cook the meat for 2-3 minutes but try not to overcook (as this is usually served on the rare side).
• Add the soy sauce mixture and cook about 2 minutes more.
• Place noodles on a serving platter and top with beef mixture, and toss together until mixed.
• Serve at once.

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together gochujang, green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and sugar. Pour half of mixture into a large ziplock bag. Add steak to bag, seal, and chill for 30 minutes or up to overnight. Cover remaining sauce and chill until ready to use.
• Drizzle oil into a large pan or skillet and bring to medium-high heat. Use tongs to transfer steak from bag to pan (keep marinade in the bag) and cook for 5-8 minutes on each side until well-browned on the outside. Transfer steak to a large cutting board and allow to rest while you move on to the next step.
• Add onions, mushrooms, ramen noodles, ramen seasoning, and beef marinade from the bag to the pan. Pour water over the top and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for 5-7 minutes until noodles are tender and cooked through.
