Instructions
- 1
Arrange all ingredients artfully in a wide, shallow pot or cast iron pan — beef in one section, tofu in another, each type of mushroom and vegetable in its own area. This arrangement is part of the ritual presentation of jeongol.
- 2
Mix broth, soy sauce, gochugaru, sesame oil, and garlic. Pour over the arranged ingredients to fill the pot halfway.
- 3
Bring to a boil at the table on a portable burner. Once boiling, each ingredient will begin to cook in its section. The broth will become richly flavored as the ingredients release their juices.
- 4
Diners use chopsticks to pick ingredients from the shared pot and eat with steamed rice or noodles. Add more broth as needed to keep the pot from going dry.

At the meal's end, add udon noodles or cook rice in the remaining broth for a final course. Jeongol is a royal dish — the elegant presentation and communal cooking style reflect its court origins.
