Baek Jong-won's Pork and Tomato Stew

Cooking tips 💡

• The most important secret to achieving the deep flavor of authentic stew is to stir-fry the pork and onions in oil until they are almost burnt, caramelizing them.
• If you have Worcestershire sauce, using it instead of soy sauce will better capture the unique tangy and exotic aroma of Western cuisine.
• If you have plenty of leftover tomato juice, using only tomato juice for the liquid instead of water will result in a richer and more delicious stew.
• A splash of vinegar added at the end dramatically enhances the stew's overall flavor and refreshing umami by interacting with the protein.
• Melting a piece of butter into the stew right after it's done will add a layer of smoothness and sophistication to the taste.
