[00:16] or Bulogi jeongol. So Bulogi is marinated beef
[00:25] colorful vegetables and mushrooms and
[00:30] to make for only two servings to make
[00:36] I bought this pre-sliced bulogi and very
[00:43] is the best. It's expensive, but we just
[00:51] or three people can enjoy this. Just this
[00:58] That's all you need to finish a delicious
[01:07] This is 8 oz. It's just a
[01:18] so if this kind of a fat is bothering
[01:30] Cut this way into bite sized pieces.
[01:46] Garlic, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon
[02:03] and two teaspoons sesame oil. Two
[02:17] Wow, sesame oil smells so good.
[02:28] Okay, set aside.
[02:36] This napa cabbage is always
[02:47] Okay, I'm going to put this in the
[03:02] and mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms, any type
[03:13] mushrooms. I'm using a few different
[03:26] King oyster mushrooms.
[03:38] This is oyster mushrooms and tofu.
[04:03] and carrots.
[04:09] The center is empty. That's where the
[04:25] Usually when you order bulgogi stew at
[04:32] broth and then in front of you it's boiling and
[04:40] then you can eat it because the meat is so thin
[04:47] some delicious broth or stock. So this is chicken
[04:54] but I made a lot of anchovy kelp
[05:00] makes my soup always tasty. I ran out
[05:08] nice. Look at this beautiful color.
[05:20] This time I use a lot of radish, anchovies,
[05:24] carrot, green onion and onion
[05:34] Two cups and let's use half cup more.
[05:43] Then boil.
[05:50] Boil for about 7 minutes without the lid.

[06:13] 7 minutes passed. Then everything is
[06:20] so they're cooking well. Cover. And cook around
[06:33] very simple! I'm going to bring some kimchi
[06:40] greens. It called in Korean ssukgaht. It has
[06:47] on top. But if you don't have this, forget
[06:53] cabbage is well cooked. Let's check it
[07:02] add any salt. I'm going to add fish sauce
[07:15] Chrysanthemum greens.
[07:19] That's it. Turn off. Rice and
[07:38] Chrysanthemum greens, you can eat it raw. So I
[07:45] I forgot to tell you. If you want to add eggs,
[08:05] I want carrot. It will be so cozy cozy meal!
[08:14] With the soup.
[08:21] The broth is so good. Beef is tender.
