Ingredients

  • 3 lbs oxtails (soaked in cold water for 1+ hours, drained and refilled a few times (to release some of the blood))
  • 10 cups water
  • 6 stalks large green onions (separate white bulb and green stems, reserving the green ends for garnish)
  • 6-8 cloves garlic (whole, peeled, and smashed a little)
  • 1 piece dashima (sea kelp) (about 3×4″)
  • 1 lb beef brisket (solid fat trimmed off, thinly sliced into ¼″ thickness by 3-4″ wide)
  • 1 lb rice cakes (sliced diagonally into ¼″ coins, if frozen they should be soaked in cold water for 30 minutes and drained)
  • 3 eggs yolks and whites divided
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Optional Garnitures/Garnishes
  • 40 pieces mini mandu (5 per serving, can be purchased frozen)
  • 8 pinches toasted seaweed strips (gim) (can be purchased pre-cut)
  • 1 lb beef chuck, trimmed and cut into 1" cubes, soaked in cold water for 30+ minutes and drained
  • ½ lb rice cakes, diagonally cut into ¼" coins, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes and drained
  • 1 T sesame oil
  • 1 T light soy sauce
  • 1 T soju (um, I didn't have any! so I used Hendrick's gin)

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 3 green onions, green ends sliced thinly for garnish
  • Toasted seaweed (gim) strips, for garnish
  • Optional: mandu (no recipe for this here, and totally ok if you want to buy these frozen. I like the mini ones that are more delicate with a thin wrapping.
