    Heat the oil in a wok or pot. Add the garlic.

    Stir the kimchi and gochujang sauce evenly, then add water to cover the kimchi. Bring the soup to a boil.

  5. 5

    Make meatballs from the marinated beef and add them to the soup.

  6. 6

    Once the meatballs are cooked. (Not bloody red any more) Add a little bit salt to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve the soup with some green onions. This dish goes very well with white rice.

  8. 8

    Notes:
    🥢For gluten free version, use Tamari soy sauce and brown rice gochujang paste which is gluten free.

    🥢For keto version, use 1 egg to replace the starch. Eggs can make the meatball softer.

    🥢Sweet potato starch can be replaced by corn starch or potato starch.

    🥢13 spices powder is a classic Chinese spices mix. It is widely used for meat marinating or BBQ.

    🥢Gochujang paste is a classic Korean fermented hot pepper paste. It is widely used for soup, stir-fry and dipping sauce.
