How to Make 30-Minute Beef Belly Soup

Step 1: Sauté the Beef Belly

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the CJ Prime Beef Belly and sauté first to release its natural fat.
Cook for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 2: Add Garlic

Add minced garlic to the pot and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
This step builds a deeper, more savory base flavor.

Step 3: Add Water and Simmer

Pour in 6 cups of water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and simmer for 10–15 minutes.

Step 4: Season

Add oyster sauce and soup soy sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 5: Finish

Add soaked glass noodles (optional) and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Top with sliced green onions before serving.

Serve hot with rice and kimchi for a complete meal.


Cooking Tips

  • Do not overcook the beef — thin slices cook quickly and remain tender.

  • Radish adds natural sweetness and depth to the broth.

  • For a cleaner broth, briefly rinse the beef before cooking.

  • Add glass noodles at the end to prevent over-softening.
