Steps
1
Clean the dried anchovies by removing the guts and any dark bits from the heads, place them in a soup bag, and add about 1.5 liters of water to make the stock.
2
Cut the napa cabbage into small pieces, rub lightly with salt, rinse, and squeeze out excess water.
3
Add the doenjang paste to the stock (mash it in directly for a rich flavor), then add the cabbage, a little flour for thickness, and minced garlic. Simmer gently for about 2 minutes, then lower the heat further so the anchovy stock releases its flavor without turning bitter from overcooking.
4
Cut the chives into pieces and mix with flour, salt, and water to form a batter; optionally add onion, carrot, or seafood like clam meat. Pour into a hot oiled pan and fry until golden on both sides to make the chive pancake.
5
Slice the scallions into thin strips, rinse in cold water to remove the sharp bite and sliminess, drain, then toss with toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, and a little apple cider vinegar to make a slightly sweet, tangy, and spicy scallion salad.
6
Slice a clove of garlic and mix it with doenjang, gochujang, plum extract syrup, sesame oil, and sesame seeds to create the ssamjang dipping sauce.
7
Cut the onion into bite-sized pieces and prepare it alongside the Hanwoo beef, seasoning simply with just salt and sesame oil to preserve the beef's natural rich flavor.
8
Heat a pan with a little sesame oil, then grill the Hanwoo beef and onions together until fragrant and cooked to the desired doneness.
9
Plate the grilled Hanwoo beef alongside the doenjang soup, chive pancake, scallion salad, ssamjang, perilla leaves, green chilies, and kimchi, and serve together with steamed rice.
