1/2 lb very thinly sliced beef

4 cups vegetable, beef, pork or chicken stock

4-8 fresh shiitake mushrooms

2-3 tbsp Korean chili flakes

4 eggs

1 tsp sesame oil

2 spring onions, sliced on the diagonal into 2-inch lengths


Directions:

Set a pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the garlic and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the beef slices and fry for 1 minute until browned. Pour in the stock, add the shiitake mushrooms, chili flakes and soy sauce. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.

Carefully add the tofu and return the stew to a rolling boil. Taste the stew and add additional chili flakes or soy sauce if needed. Crack the eggs into the pot and let the eggs cook until the egg whites are white but the yolk still runny.
