Spicy Beef and Vegetable Soup( Yukgaejang)

….This soup is smoky and spicy with sliced beef and plenty of vegetables that are soft. It’s a satisfying, warming meal. ANNE wants to know this recipe. She loves mom’s Yukgaejang. I add lots of mushrooms, since my family loves mushrooms. If you get great some beef brisket from a market, the beef broth will taste great. It’s all of the recipe. Personally, the Whole Foods market’s beef brisket is delicious. JOHN and DJ are always happy with this dish.
