Ingredients

Scale

Beef Bulgogi

  • ⅓ cup beef bulgogi (preferably leftover or pre-marinated)

Noodles

  • ½ bundle sweet potato glass noodles (dry)

Broth and Flavorings

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Vegetables and Garnish

  • ½ bundle enoki mushrooms
  • 1 tsp chopped green onions (scallions)

Instructions

  1. Soak Noodles: Fill a large bowl with water and place the sweet potato glass noodles in it. Allow the noodles to soak until they become soft and pliable, making them ready to be added to the stew.
  2. Cook Beef Bulgogi: Heat a small pot over medium heat and add the beef bulgogi. Stir occasionally until the bulgogi is warmed through and slightly toasty, developing intensified flavor.
  3. Add Seasonings: Stir in the dark soy sauce and sesame oil to the warmed bulgogi. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with the rich seasonings.
  4. Simmer Broth: Pour in 2 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the soaked sweet potato glass noodles and the enoki mushrooms to the pot.
  5. Cook Noodles and Mushrooms: Allow the noodles and mushrooms to cook together in the boiling broth for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the mushrooms are lightly softened.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, top with chopped green onions, and serve immediately to enjoy a warm and flavorful bulgogi stew.

Notes

  • The beef bulgogi used is often leftover from previous cooking but can be freshly prepared using your favorite bulgogi marinade recipe.
  • Soaking the sweet potato noodles is essential to achieve the right texture in the stew.
  • Adjust soy sauce to taste if you prefer a saltier or milder broth.
  • This stew cooks quickly, so keep an eye on the noodles to avoid overcooking.
  • For a spicier version, consider adding gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) or a sliced chili pepper when simmering.
