Instructions
- In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the sliced beef brisket and boil for 5 minutes to remove any impurities. Drain the beef and rinse it under cold water.

Tips
- For added depth of flavor, consider adding sliced mushrooms or daikon radish to the soup during the simmering stage.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a dash of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) to the broth.
