Description
A delicious and hearty Korean dumpling soup made with flavorful beef broth and delicate egg ribbons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup finely chopped green onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (12 ounces) dumpling wrappers
- 6 cups beef broth
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) – optional for heat
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper in half, and pinch to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Carefully add the dumplings to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the top and are cooked through.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the simmering soup, stirring gently to create egg ribbons.
- Add the baby spinach and gochugaru (if using) to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with a mix of finely chopped vegetables and tofu.
- Add additional vegetables such as carrots or bok choy for extra nutrition and flavor.
