Pine-mushroom hot pot, autumn's luxury

About the dish

Songi jeongol simmers pine mushrooms with beef and vegetables in a clear broth at the table. The longer the pot bubbles, the further the mushrooms' perfume spreads — an autumn indulgence best shared.

Key ingredient

Pine mushroom (songi) — autumn's most luxurious mushroom, famed for its heady fragrance; rich in dietary fiber for gut health and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and noted for immune-supporting properties. In season in autumn, mainly from Yangyang & Bonghwa.

Ingredients

Main: pine mushrooms (songi), beef, tofu, Korean radish, crown daisy, scallion, broth · Seasoning: soup soy sauce, minced garlic, salt

Simple recipe

  1. Tear the pine mushrooms along the grain into thick pieces.
  2. Slice the beef and vegetables, matching them for color.
  3. Arrange the ingredients in rings in a jeongol pot.
  4. Pour in the clear broth and season with soup soy sauce.
  5. Add the mushrooms last to keep their fragrance, and serve the pot simmering.
