About this dish
Packaged wheat noodles, cooked separately and laid in a clear broth of brisket and beef bones, make this a home version rather than a re-creation of traditional geonjin guksu, whose noodles are kneaded with soybean flour.

The broth is not meant to turn milky and gelatinous like a long-boiled bone stock; about 70 minutes of gentle simmering, or longer if the brisket is still tough, is enough. Soaking, blanching, and boiling the noodles add time on top of that. Each bowl is topped with shredded brisket, zucchini, and separate strips of yolk and white omelet.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Soak 300g beef brisket and 500g beef soup bones in cold water for 20 minutes to remove blood, blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes to eliminate impurities, then rinse and place in a pot.
- 2
Add 2200 ml water, bring to a boil, and skim the foam.
Lower the heat and simmer for about 70 minutes. If the brisket is still tough, cook longer until tender. This simmering time excludes soaking and bringing the water to a boil.
- 3
Remove the cooked brisket, let it cool slightly, then pull it apart along the grain into thin strips.
Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve, then season with 2 tbsp soup soy sauce and 1 tsp salt.
- 4
While the broth simmers, julienne 120 g zucchini and cook in a nonstick pan for 1 to 2 minutes.
Separate 2 eggs and cook the yolks and whites as thin sheets in the same pan until fully set, then cut into strips. Slice the green onion.
- 5
Once the broth and garnishes are ready, cook 400 g wheat noodles in a separate pot of boiling water following the package time.
Use 4 to 5 minutes only as a guide for noodle thickness. Rinse in cold water, dip in hot water for about 10 seconds, and drain.
- 6
Divide the noodles among four bowls and pour over the hot broth.
Divide the brisket, zucchini, egg strips, and sliced green onion equally. Distribute the single tablespoon of minced garlic across all four bowls.
