About this dish
Beef head meat spends at least three hours in cold water and gets a short first boil that is thrown away before the real simmer in fresh water with scallion, garlic, ginger, peppercorns and soju.

Because skin and lean meat are layered together, slicing while hot makes them slide apart. Let it cool until you can hold it firmly, then cut thin, even slices for the platter.

In a large pot, combine the washed meat, green onions, garlic, ginger, peppercorns, soju, and 3L of water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes.
