Korean kuksi with meat

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make kuksi in Korean with meat? Prepare the necessary products. You can take any noodles: egg, rice, buckwheat. Read about the subtleties of choosing noodles in the article at the end of this recipe. I used wheat. The basis of the vegetable components will always be cucumber and greens, the rest can vary depending on availability, there are many options.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the dressing for kuksi-muri. Literally translated, this is “noodle water.” Add soy sauce, sugar, salt and vinegar essence to cooled boiled water, stir everything well. Taste and adjust taste if necessary. Add finely chopped cilantro and onion. Many people like to add coriander seeds; they must first be fried and crushed. Just greenery is enough for me. Place the dressing in the refrigerator to steep.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the meat. Wash it, dry it thoroughly, cut off the films and veins. Cut the meat into plates along the grain, about 1 cm thick. Cut the plates across the grain into thin strips, also about 1 cm wide. The knife must be sharp, since the meat is used chilled, and it is more difficult to cut it finely.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare the marinade. Add soy sauce, black and red hot pepper or a mixture of peppers, dry garlic powder, and vegetable oil to the chopped meat. Mix well and leave to marinate on the counter while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. You can use fresh garlic, but it can burn when fried, so I prefer dry powder.

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare cucumber salad. Cut the cucumbers into half rings, add salt, sugar, pepper, garlic. It is better to pass the garlic through a fine press. Season the salad with a spoon of vegetable oil, mix and put in the refrigerator. Place all foods covered in the refrigerator.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare the remaining vegetables. From the Chinese cabbage leaves, take only the tender part of the leaves and finely chop it into strips. Cut the tomato into small cubes, grate the radish on a Korean grater without peeling. Place all the vegetables in separate cups, add a little salt, stir, cover and also put in the refrigerator.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare egg pancakes. Beat the eggs into a cup, add a little salt and whisk. Add water and shake again until smooth. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, add a little oil and pour in the egg in a thin layer. Fry like a regular pancake on both sides. Remove the egg pancake and let it cool flat. Then roll the pancake into a roll and cut into thin strips, like noodles. I got 4 pancakes d 20 cm.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fry the meat in a well-heated frying pan. Pour in a little oil, 2 - 3 tbsp is enough, and heat well until almost smoking. Then carefully add the meat and, stirring, fry for a couple of minutes, add a little water (to cover the bottom, but not the meat). Simmer the meat, uncovered, until the liquid evaporates. It took me about 10 minutes. Then add finely chopped garlic and a little chili pepper, but this is optional if you like it spicy.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cook noodles according to package instructions. Place the finished noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water. Drizzle vegetable oil over the noodles and stir to prevent the noodles from sticking. If you do not plan to serve the soup immediately, cover the noodles and put them in the refrigerator.

10. STEP 10

    

    Prepare Kuksi soup for serving. All ingredients must be well chilled. Place the noodles in a deep plate or bowl, arrange the prepared preparations on top in a circle, then pour the dressing over everything and sprinkle with fresh herbs. In Korea, this soup is eaten with chopsticks, and the liquid is sipped over the edge. In European countries they use a fork and spoon. Bon appetit!

In hot weather, various cold soups come in handy. Today I’m making Korean kuksi with meat. First of all, I chopped and marinated the beef, boiled the noodles for kuksi (you can use regular spaghetti or linguine), prepared cucumber salad, chopped Chinese cabbage and tomato, and fried egg pancakes. Marinated beef was fried and slightly simmered until the liquid evaporated. When you read the recipe, the preparation may seem complicated, but everything is prepared quite quickly and uncomplicated. When preparing muri, I advise you not to pour in all the vinegar essence at once (for me, an incomplete teaspoon was enough), be guided by your taste. When serving, put all the prepared ingredients in portions into cups and poured chilled muri over them. Very tasty, fresh and piquant! Thanks for the recipe, Blue-Eyed!
