A flavorful and comforting Korean hot pot featuring thinly sliced bulgogi (marinated beef) in a rich broth. Glass noodles, mushrooms, and leafy greens provide a balanced and delicious meal.
Prepare the broth: In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine beef broth, soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the bulgogi: Gently add the thinly sliced bulgogi to the simmering broth. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly browned.
Add the vegetables: Add the shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and Napa cabbage to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the noodles: Add the glass noodles to the hot pot. Cook according to package instructions (usually about 5-7 minutes), until the noodles are translucent and tender.
Add spinach and green onions: Stir in the spinach and green onions during the last minute of cooking. The spinach will wilt quickly.
Season to taste: Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
Serve: Ladle the hot pot into bowls and serve immediately with steamed rice.
