Description

The dish is made by simmering small chunks of lean beef first in water, skimming off any scum. Once the beef is cooked, the meat is simmered in soy sauce along with a mixture of garlic, ginger, and sugar. When served, the meat is shredded along the grain, and drizzled with the braising liquid to re-moisten the meat. The dish preserves well in the fridge, and is typically served cold with other side dishes.{{Cite web , last=Chu , first=Louisa , title=How to navigate banchan, the essential Korean dishes, using San Soo's lineup as a tasty guide , url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/dining/craving/ct-food-san-soo-apps-banchan-appetizers-korean-viz-20190509-story.html , access-date=2023-03-01 , website=Chicago Tribune, date=29 May 2019
