Korean Cabbage Hotpot

Servings: 2 person

Ingredients

  • ½ Head of Green Cabbage
  • 1 Stalk of Spring Onion (Forearm length piece - use green portion)
  • 300 grams Thinly Sliced Beef Strips (At Korean Market, select either Chadolbaegi '차돌박이' or Woo Samgyup '우삼겹')

Soup Broth

  • 2 Cups Water (500ml)
  • 2 Tablespoons Tsuyu Sauce (Substitute Available)

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 Tablespoon Broth (scoop out of your hotpot)
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • ½ Tablespoon Oligodang Syrup
  • ½ Tablespoon Lemon Juice (or Rice Vinegar)
  • Few cracks Black Pepper
  • Few chops Cheongyang Chili Peppers (Optional)
  • Dab Hot Mustard (Optional) (In Korean, known as 연겨자)

Instructions

  • Cut ½ a head of green cabbage into thin strip. We recommend using a mandolin slicer.
  • Soak the thin cabbage slices in cold water for 5 minutes.
  • Then cut a forearm length piece of spring onion into small circles. Set aside.

Make Dipping Sauce

  • We'll make the dipping sauce.
    Mix Soy Sauce (2T), Oligodang Syrup (½T), Lemon Juice (½T), Black Pepper (few cracks).
  • Optional: Add ⅓ chopped chili pepper, hot mustard (dab)
  • Mix the sauce - and before you eat, mix in some hot-pot broth (1 Tablespoon)

Make Hot Pot

  • Pour 500ml of water into a pot. Bring it to a boil.
  • Then add in Tsuyu Sauce (2 Tablespoons). If you don't have it, check recipe notes for substitution.
  • Add in the sliced green onion slices.
  • Then add in few handfuls of cabbage slices at a time.
  • Add a few piece of thin strips of beef and enjoy!

Optional: Make Korean Porridge Rice

  • When you're done with the hot-pot, you can make porridge rice - which is delicious!
  • Simply scoop out any excess broth in the pot - we'll need roughly ½ a cup's worth of leftover.
  • Bring the hot-pot back to a boil. Then once the broth is boiling, drop in an egg. Stir it around until it cooks.
  • Next, add in a 1-1.5 cups of cooked rice.
  • Stir the rice into the broth.
  • Then season it with some of the leftover dipping sauce. (If none leftover, simply add some soy sauce).
  • Then add in some dried seaweed flakes.
  • Give it taste. Then sprinkle on some salt as well.
  • Finally, give a drizzle of sesame oil.
  • Add a few sprinkles of sesame seeds too if you'd like.
  • Turn off heat - and season more with a dash more of the dipping sauce if you need.
