*Get a piece
of beef that has stripes on it at a market.
**You can find kosari (fern) at a Korean market, usually dried ones.
Method
1. Boil dried
Kosari for thirty minutes until tender.
2. While doing
so, cut the beef into ½ inch thick stripes. Season beef with ground
red pepper, chopped garlic, and sesame seed oil. Clean bean sprouts.
Cut green onion into similar length strips.
3. Pour ten
cups of water in a big pot, and boil the meat for about thirty minutes
to make beef base. (If you have beef base or beef stock in a can, use
them. You can shorten time by doing so.)
4. If kosari
has been cooked for thirty minutes, turn off the heat, take kosari
out, and wash with cold water. Cut out about one third of the stem,
not the head part! They are too tough to eat. Put them back into the
pot, and leave them in water until beef is done.
5. After
thirty minutes have passed for boiling beef, put boiled kosari (only,
not with kosari boiled water) into the beef boiling pot. Boil for
about ten more minutes, and put cleaned bean sprouts and green onion.
Boil with lid on for thirty more minutes (if you have time, an hour)
on a medium heat.
6. Put salt,
and serve.
