If you’ve ever craved something deeply savoury, spicy, and restorative, Yukgaejang is the soup for you. Traditionally simmered with brisket or flank, this Korean favourite is layered with flavours from dried chillies, garlic, sesame, and vibrant vegetables. It’s a soup that feels hearty enough for dinner yet light enough to revive you when you’re under the weather. With Greenfields chillies and sesame oil, you’ll unlock an authentic depth of flavour right from your pantry.
500g beef brisket or flank
2 litres water
2 tbsp Greenfields Pure Sesame Seed Oil
3 tbsp Greenfields Hot Chilli Flakes (adjust to heat preference)
1 tbsp Greenfields Garlic Powder (or 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced)
1 tbsp Greenfields Ground Ginger
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Greenfields Ground White Pepper
100g bean sprouts
150g shiitake or oyster mushrooms, sliced
2 spring onions, cut into 5cm lengths
1 medium onion, sliced
1 handful spinach leaves
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp Greenfields Himalayan Pink Salt (fine)
Optional: 1 tsp Greenfields Cayenne Pepper for extra heat
Place the beef in a large pot with 2 litres of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1.5–2 hours until tender. Skim off any impurities as needed.
Remove the beef, shred it finely with forks, and set aside. Keep the broth.
In a pan, heat sesame oil. Add the chilli flakes, garlic, and ginger, stirring gently until aromatic (about 1 minute). This makes the base seasoning oil.
Stir this seasoning oil into the beef broth, then add soy sauce, white pepper, onion, mushrooms, and shredded beef. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add bean sprouts, spinach, and spring onions. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the simmering broth, stirring gently so it forms silky ribbons.
Taste and adjust seasoning with Himalayan salt and extra cayenne if you want more kick.
Serve hot, ideally with steamed rice or kimchi on the side.
