Equipment

  • Mookata grill or Korean BBQ grill with a hot pot moat
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Stockpot for the soup base
  • ladle
  • Tongs or chopsticks

Ingredients

Meat & marinade

Soup broth

  • 2 l water
  • 2 tbsp rosdee seasoning powder
  • 1 white radish, sliced
  • 1 handful Chinese celery, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp salt

Vegetables

  • 500 g mixed vegetables, Chinese cabbage, morning glory, mushrooms, Thai basil

Optional additions

  • 140 g glass noodles
  • 500 g seafood

Sauce

  • mookata sauce
  • nam jim talay
  • sweet chili sauce

Instructions

  • Marinate the meat: Combine the marinade ingredients until the sugar dissolves. Add the thinly sliced meat and mix until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Make the soup broth: Add the water, rosdee seasoning, white radish, Chinese celery, garlic, white pepper, and salt to a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the sauces: Make the homemade mookata sauce (or your favorite dipping sauces) before heating the grill.
  • Prepare the vegetables: Wash and cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  • Set up the grill: Fill the outer moat of the mookata grill with the hot broth. Light the charcoal or preheat the grill. Rub a piece of fatty pork over the dome to help prevent sticking.
  • Start cooking: Add vegetables, glass noodles, seafood, or other soup ingredients to the broth. Grill the marinated meat on the center dome, turning frequently until cooked through.
  • Serve and enjoy: Dip the grilled meat into your favorite sauce and enjoy with the vegetables and noodles from the broth. Refill the broth with hot water if needed throughout the meal.

Notes

  • You can choose a variety of meats such as chicken, beef, pork, seafood, and cut them into thin slices.
  • If you're making mookata for the first time, I recommend pork, Chinese cabbage, morning glory, glass noodles, and homemade mookata sauce. That's the combination I make most often at home.
