Preparation
To make jangguk, ground beef is seasoned with chopped scallions, minced garlic, soup soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper, then stir-fried in sesame oil.[5] Water is added to the stir-fried beef and any foam or excess oil is skimmed.[5] When the broth is fully flavored, soaked rice is added and boiled until the porridge reaches the desired consistency.[5]
Lean meat such as beef round is preferred, and the porridge should be mildly seasoned.[5] It is good for recovering patients and the elderly.[5]
