How to Make Tasty Korean Winter Soup
  1. Soak your beef short ribs in cold water for 1 hour.
  2. Prepare your aromatics: Chop a yellow onion, slice fresh ginger, and finely chop garlic.
  3. Combine the soaked ribs, sliced ginger, whole onion, green onion roots, and 10 cups of water in a large stock pot.
  4. Boil over medium-high heat until bubbling, then reduce the heat to medium and skim off any foam.
  5. Simmer uncovered for 1 hour, continuing to skim foam occasionally.
  6. Add in the radish slices and continue to simmer for another 20 minutes.
  7. Discard the aromatics and season your broth with guk ganjang, sea salt, and garlic.
