cook for another 20-30 minutes until beef gets tender.

cool tip !
It is a quick version. If you'd like more flavorful "yook gye jang",
buy beef shank or any part for pot roast and cook
in water
with some garlic and ginger to 70% done.
Take out the meat, save the broth, tear meat into small size,
marinate with above chili powder, garlic, soy
sauce, salt and pepper.
Put it back to a pot and add bean sprouts, blanched green onions, beaten egg,
blanched fernbrake (gosari), and reserved beef
stock, and continue to cook.
