Yukgaejang (yuk gae jang, 육개장) is Korean spicy beef soup. It is served during hot summer days as a stamina food. But due to the hearty nature of the soup, it is commonly consumed during colder months as a comfort food.
The soup highlights shredded beef brisket, water, fernbrake (bracken fiddlehead), bean sprouts, green onions, sesame oil and Korean chili powder as an integral ingredients.
The soup is slightly spicy, savory, and comforting. You will also taste earthy flavor from the fernbrake and shiitake mushrooms.
Yukgaejang is served with a bowl of rice, kimchi and other Korean side dishes. But really, you won’t find the need to prepare other side dishes as yukgaejang itself is quite substantial. A good balance of meat and vegetables!
The spicy soup looks fiery and bold but it is not crazy spicy unless you make it that way. So don’t get intimidated by it!
