Season 1
- S1E4 · ~00:47:00 Black Spoon contestant "Genius Restaurateur" cooks a jeonriptugol — a traditional soldier's-hat hot pot — for his Round 2 one-on-one match
In the series
The dish leans on a genuinely old Korean cooking vessel and format — communal, tableside, built for sharing — set against a modern, competitive one-on-one match designed to isolate a single chef's skill. The contrast is the point.
Ingredients
Method
- Bring the stock to a simmer with the soy sauce and garlic.
- Arrange the sliced beef and vegetables in tidy sections around the rim of a wide, shallow pot or hot pot dish (the traditional jeonrip, or "soldier's hat," shape has a raised center well for the broth).
- Ladle the hot broth into the center well, then bring the whole pot to a gentle simmer at the table, letting diners cook the beef and vegetables briefly in the broth as they go.
- Add the cooked noodles to the broth near the end so they warm through without overcooking.
- Finish each bowl with a few drops of sesame oil.
Substitutions
- Jeonrip pot: a wide, shallow pot with a hot pot insert or portable burner recreates the tableside cooking even without the traditional brimmed vessel.
