- Hi everybody.

Today we are going to make juk.

It's Soegogi-yachacjuk.

Juk is porridge.

Usually made with rice.

Soegogi-yachacjuk is made with beef and colorful vegetables.

This is one bowl meal.

You don't need any other side dishes.

Of course if you have Kimchi, it's good.

I'm going to make four servings today

with one cup of rice.

Let's start.

I just use this kind of colorful vegetables.

Bell peppers, and broccoli.

Broccoli is very nutritious.

Carrot, onion, and garlic, and beef.

One cup of rice.

Let's wash this.

In cold water.

Pour out this milky water and just grab this.

Scrub this.

Just rinse a couple of times until the water is clear.

We are going to soak this rice at least 30 minutes.

This rice is ready.

30 minutes ago I soaked this.

Any lean cut of beef is good.

This is beef shank, half a pound.

And then I will use my food processor.

But you can use ground beef.

I'm going to grind this.

Oh look at that.

It make one ball.

Four garlic cloves.

I always start with garlic. eh? isn't it?

Mince.

And let's onion.

Chop into little small pieces.

Carrot, this amount.

All ingredient, let's chop into really small pieces

because this is porridge.

So we need to really, easily, you should be able to chew.

Almost, you don't have to chew.

Easily you can swallow.

That's the point of porridge.

And then the yellow bell pepper.

And red bell pepper.

All these colorful vegetables.

Whatever you have in your fridge, use this.

You can use spinach.

You can use other types of vegetable.

Even mushrooms.

Broccoli.

I washed this already.

And let's also chop it up.

Broccoli's around 1 1/2 cup amount.

And all this small pieces we'll use this.

All the cutting is done.

Beef and vegetables.

And rice is soaked 30 minutes ago.

Let's strain this.

Let's cook.

Sesame oil, around 2 teaspoons.

And then ground beef.

Here I find this.

kind of this is muscle?

Take it off.

This beef is no longer pink.

Add the garlic and onion.

Until this onion looks translucent.

It takes around 2 minutes.

Let's add rice.

Stir this around two or three minutes

until this rice is also half translucent.

Now it's a little translucent isn't it?

Clear.

It's time to add all vegetables.

All nice.

So let's add the water.

Seven cups of water.

Just well stir this on the bottom.

Sticky rice is all mixed.

And then cover and boil.

Soegogi-yachacjuk has a lot of good memories for me.

Because a long time ago I was living in America in 1990s.

At the time I was living with my family.

And then my father was sick.

He had a huge major surgery in Korea.

And I had to go there to see my father.

My father really missed me.

I found out my mom makes all kinds of food

and the doctor said that you shouldn't use salt,

you shouldn't use this.

You make that seven, eight different kinds of grains

to make rice.

Certain food he...

Oh ow, wow, it's boiled over.

Stir this.

And then turn down the heat to low.

There are not many things that he can eat.

And then I just made this porridge.

And also I made bibimbap.

So two kinds of food I made.

This porridge is, I really wanted to make a special food.

A very very nutritious.

Like a protein.

Lots of protein.

Plus mineral, vitamins.

I went to market by myself and pick up

the really lean cut beef.

The best cut of beef.

Came home and then I just chop it up with my knife.

All my energy.

So, father please, you should survive with this.

And recover quickly.

My father really really liked it.

So he loved my food.

Now I can't see him anymore,

but always whenever I get an email from my readers

they just ask me, "Maangchi, my mom's really sick right now.

"I don't know what to cook."

I always give them this direction.

Some of you guys already heard this from me.

See?

Rice is all done.

but then I like to cook just a little longer.

Turn down the heat.

Low heat.

So this is gim, seaweed paper.

I'm going to make crushed seaweed paper.

This serves four.

For each one, you use just one sheet of gim.

I will use fish sauce.

You could use salt or fish sauce but I prefer fish sauce

because it has better flavor.

Two table spoons.

Wow, a lot amount.

It will be enough for four large bowls.

One teaspoon sesame oil.

And then this gim, you make the gim, crushed gim?

And then give it to them on top.

Okay here, here is for you.

Like this.

(upbeat Caribbean music)

Mmm.

Mmm delicious.

a lot of beef, so make broth tasty.

And also gim, the seaweed paper,

the gim paper is really good.

This is a really hearty and comfort food.

This is also good food for babies.

Today we made Soegogi-Yachacjuk.

Porridge made with beef and vegetables.

Enjoy my recipe.

Bye.
