This Korean Beef & Radish Soup – Soegogi Muguk is a delicious combination of tender beef slivers, crispy Korean radish, and tasty garlic. It is important to use Korean soup soy sauce in this dish. Do not substitute with regular soy sauce as it is too dark and sweet. If you can’t get Korean soup soy sauce, fish sauce is a good replacement.
To make this soup, start by marinating beef in garlic and Korean soup soy sauce. Saute the beef until browned, and then add water. Simmer and add radish pieces. Boil until the radishes are soft and translucent. Stir in the remaining ingredients and heat through. The soup should not look too dark.
