Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Mix broth, soy sauce, gochugaru, sesame oil, and garlic. Pour over the arranged ingredients to fill the pot halfway.

  3. 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. 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.

  5. 5

    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.
