Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Stir-fry the pork over high heat for the first 5 minutes to render the fat from the fatty parts, which infuses the broth with a rich, savory flavor.
  • Stir-fry the gochujang and gochugaru in the pork fat before adding water to fully eliminate their raw smell.
  • Potatoes take longer to cook than other vegetables, so add them first right after pouring in the water.
  • Taste the broth before adding the tofu and large green onion, then add only 1/2 tablespoon of tuna extract to adjust the saltiness.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a hearty, spicy home-style stew packed with pork and vegetables.
  • Those who enjoy soup dishes with deep flavor from stir-fried gochujang and ssamjang.
  • Those who want to set a satisfying table with a warm stew.
