Dinner Soup Korean Fall

Ingredients

2 lb beef short ribs
1 carrot
1 onion
3.25 cloves garlic
2 scallions
a few slices ginger
1 tbsp soy sauce
a pinch black pepper and salt
1 glass noodles

Instructions

1
Place the short ribs in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 2 hours, changing the water once, to draw out blood and impurities.
2
After soaking, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the ribs and blanch for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse the ribs under cold running water to remove any scum.
3
Set the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and briefly heat a thin layer of oil (optional). Add the blanched ribs, chopped carrot, quartered onion, garlic cloves, scallions, ginger slices, soy sauce, and a pinch of black pepper.
4
Pour enough water into the Instant Pot to fully cover the ribs and vegetables (about 8‑10 cups). Close the lid, ensure the vent is sealed, and select the "Stew" (or high pressure) mode for 50 minutes.
5
While the soup is cooking, place the glass noodles in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.
6
When the Instant Pot timer shows 10 minutes remaining, carefully release pressure according to the manufacturer’s quick‑release method. Open the lid, add the softened glass noodles, and let them cook in the hot broth for about 5‑7 minutes until tender.
7
Taste the broth and add a pinch of salt if needed. Ladle the ribs, vegetables, and noodles into bowls, ensuring each serving gets a generous amount of broth.
8
Garnish with additional sliced scallions or a drizzle of sesame oil if desired, and serve hot.
