Open package of ox bone broth. Pour broth in pot and turn on medium high. (optional step - boil somen noodles for 2 minutes and strain. Then, rinse with cold water to wash off the excess starch and strain again.)
Slice green onions and chinese chives. Slice beef in 3 inch pieces.
Once the ox bone broth starts boiling, add sliced beef and cook to your desired wellness. Take the beef out and set aside.
Turn off the heat and add your green onions, chinese chives, and noodles. To season, start with ¼ teaspoon of salt, then add ¼ teaspoon more if you need it! Personally ½ teaspoon is perfect for me. I would not recommend going over 1 teaspoon! Depending on which bone broth you bought, the soup may become too salty if it's over 1 teaspoon and there's a high chance you won't be able to fix it.
Serve this easy ox bone soup with korean kimchi radish and kimchi. The soup is also very delicious with a hot bowl of rice. Enjoy while warm!

EXPERT TIPS

Get high quality beef broth! Korean groceries are the best place to find them.

Carefully season your soup. Start with ¼ teaspoon salt. Add a little and taste as you go. I would not recommend going over 1 teaspoon! Depending on which bone broth you bought, the soup may become too salty if it's over 1 teaspoon and there's a high chance you won't be able to fix it.

Don't cook your beef for too long. The soup will be boiling hot so cook your beef for 1 minute max so the beef stays tender and not too dry.
