Wash produce before use

1

Soak the glass noodles; marinate the shrimp

  • Rinse the shrimp, then drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and pat dry.
  • In a small bowl, using a fork or whisk, stir together the goong ob woonsen base and ¼ cup [½ cup] warm water.
Fill a medium [large] bowl with 2 cups [4 cups] hot water, add the glass noodles, and soak until starting to soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
In the same bowl, toss together the shrimp and goong ob woonsen sauce and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the noodles and toss to coat.
While the noodles soak and the shrimp and noodles marinate, prepare the aromatics.

2

Prep the aromatics

  • Set aside half the whole garlic cloves for the peppercorn mixture. Finely chop, press, or grate the remaining garlic and set aside for the green beans.
  • Strip the cilantro leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the stems. Set aside the leaves for garnish.
  • Peel the ginger, if desired; thinly slice the ginger crosswise.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal. Set aside 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] scallions for garnish.
Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the black peppercorns and transfer to a small bowl. Add the whole garlic cloves and cilantro stems and season lightly with salt. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, gently smash the garlic and cilantro stems to release the oils and combine with the peppercorns.

Cook the goong ob woonsen

In a medium [large] sauce pot over medium heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons [4 to 6 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the peppercorn mixture and ginger and cook until fragrant and just starting to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the glass noodles, shrimp, and sauce, keeping the shrimp on top of the noodles. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook undisturbed until the shrimp are firm and cooked through and the noodles are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in all but 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] of the scallions, cover, and keep warm. Just before serving, remove the ginger slices, if desired.
While the goong ob woonsen cooks, start preparing the green beans.

4

Prep and cook the green beans

  • Trim the stem ends from the green beans.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons [2 to 4 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the green beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook without stirring until starting to blister on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Using tongs or a spatula, flip the beans and cook until blistered slightly on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the shrimp goong ob woonsen to individual bowls and garnish with the cilantro leaves and remaining scallions. Serve the green beans on the side.
