Ingredients for Ugeoji Doenjang Gomtang Hangover Soup

The essential ingredients for Ugeoji Doenjang Gomtang Hangover Soup include beef used in gomtang, broth made from beef bone stock, and ugeoji (young napa cabbage). Seasoning ingredients are also primarily used.

[ Ingredients for 4 servings of Ugeoji Doenjang Gomtang Hangover Soup]

600ml beef bone stock, 1.5L water
300~400g beef brisket
400g young napa cabbage (5~6 pieces)

If you don’t like the texture of ugeoji made from outer cabbage leaves, try using young napa cabbage like I do! You can use any beef for soup, but I chose beef brisket.

Preparation Ingredients

I forgot to take photos! Boil 200~300g of beef brisket in 800ml of water for about 20 minutes. I trust that you, the readers, are smart enough to handle this! Wash 6 young napa cabbages thoroughly, remove the moisture, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Gather the cut young napa cabbage in a large bowl or pot!

Let’s lightly season the cut young napa cabbage first. Add 4 tablespoons of doenjang, then 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of red pepper powder! Store-bought traditional doenjang is better than regular doenjang.

Then, wearing sanitary gloves, mix it well! It’s best to mix it as evenly as possible, but since you won’t be eating it right away, it’s okay to stop when you feel it’s mixed enough.

Prepare the remaining vegetable ingredients by slicing 1 green onion and 2~3 Cheongyang peppers diagonally. You don’t need to prepare too much as only a little will be added, but if you plan to use them as garnish, feel free to prepare more!

Do not discard the water used to boil the brisket; just remove the foam! After removing the brisket, let it cool, then shred it finely.

Cooking

Let’s start cooking. Add 800ml of the water used to boil the brisket and 600ml of beef bone stock, and mix well. Keep the heat at medium and bring it to a boil.

When the broth starts to boil, you can add the prepared brisket, seasoned young napa cabbage, green onion, and Cheongyang peppers. Cooking comfortably won’t hurt.

Next, add 3 tablespoons of perilla powder, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for soup, 2 pinches of MSG, and 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, and mix well!

If you prefer a clear taste, you can continue boiling as is, or add pepper to taste. Turn up the heat to high and let it boil vigorously.

Once the young napa cabbage is wilted and everything is boiling, check the seasoning! The taste will be quite clear and mild. Adjust the seasoning with flavored salt to your liking, and boil once more for a simple finish!
