How to cook it
-
Simmer the beef shank in the water for 40 minutes, skimming foam, until fork-tender, then lift it out and shred into thick strands, reserving the broth.
-
Heat the oil in a pot and toast the gochugaru for 1 minute to bloom its color, being careful not to let it scorch.
-
Pour in the reserved broth, add the soy sauce and minced garlic, and bring to a boil.
-
Add the shredded beef, bean sprouts, and garlic chives and simmer 15 minutes until the sprouts are tender but not mushy.
-
Season with salt, beat the egg and drizzle it in for the last 30 seconds, and serve hot as a full, spicy one-bowl meal.
