    Title: Soegogimuguk (Beef Radish Stew)
    Categories: Korean, Stews
    Yield: 2 Servings

    8 oz Korean radish (mu) or
    -daikon; peeled
    7 c Water
    8 oz Beef brisket; cut into 1 x
    -1/2 x 1/4" pieces
    4 cl Garlic; minced
    1 tb Fish sauce or Korean soup
    -soy sauce
    1 ts Kosher salt
    1/4 ts Black pepper; freshly ground
    2 Scallions; thinly sliced on
    -the diagonal

    This soup has a satisfying sweet flavor that Koreans recognize
    instantly and newcomers to the dish immediately appreciate. I always
    use well-marbled point-cut brisket, since there should be a little
    fat in the beef to give the soup richness. The beef is added once the
    radishes are already boiling in the water, and that helps keep the
    broth clear.

    Beef used to be very expensive in Korea, so much that it was given as
    a gift on special occasions. Wrapped in newspaper from the butcher,
    it didn't look fancy, but everyone was happy to get such a present.

    Trim the root end of the radish so it lies flat and put it on a
    cutting board flat end down. Moving around the perimeter of the
    radish, slice off 1-1/2" square pieces. The pieces should be of
    uneven thickness, ranging from 1/8 to 1/4" thick.

    Combine the radish and water in a large saucepan, cover, and cook over
    medium-high heat for 15 minutes.

    Add the beef and garlic to the pan, turn the heat down to medium, and
    cook, covered, for 25 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients and
    cook for another 5 minutes.

    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
