Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always add the onion before other vegetables to allow its natural compounds to effectively counteract the fishy aroma of anchovies.
  • Carefully remove all bones and internal organs from anchovies to ensure a clean, smooth broth and to enjoy the anchovies themselves tenderly when eating.
  • Soybean paste varies widely in saltiness depending on brand or homemade type—start with less and adjust to taste rather than adding all at once.
  • If using a clay pot, avoid overfilling with ingredients, as adding tofu at the end may cause the broth to overflow.

Recommended for

  • Those who have tried making soybean paste stew at home but still feel something’s missing—just 2% short of depth and richness.
  • People seeking a clean, refreshing, yet deeply savory dried anchovy soybean paste stew free of fishy aftertaste.
  • Home cooks who want authentic stew flavor without complex stock packs, relying only on simple ingredient prep.
