Soothing soup weather. Time for Muguk

Craving muguk on a cold, windy day in LA. This soup hits especially hard with rice and a few banchan on the side.

It was a staple in our house growing up. Something my mom made often. Korean radish cut small, a little beef, garlic, scallions. Clear, nourishing, and deeply comforting.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had it, and this is my first time making it for myself. I pieced it together from a few recipes online and memory.

There’s a quiet irony in getting older and missing the foods that were once just there. Mostly, I’m grateful for how good the food was, and that I can start recreating some of those flavors now. #foodmemories . #soupseason #muguk
