About Yukgae jang

Yukgaejang is a traditional Korean spicy beef soup known for its bold flavors and hearty ingredients. This dish typically features shredded beef brisket, scallions, garlic, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and gosari (fernbrake), all simmered in a rich, chili-infused broth made with gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes). Often served with steamed rice, it’s a comforting meal popular in Korean cuisine. Yukgaejang is high in protein thanks to the beef and offers vitamins and fiber from the vegetables and herbs. The spice level can promote metabolism and circulation. However, due to its sodium content from seasonings like soy sauce and added salt, it is best consumed in moderation for those monitoring their sodium intake. Yukgaejang is perfect for a warming meal packed with bold Korean flavors and wholesome ingredients.
