Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Finely chopping shrimp paste with a knife ensures even distribution of umami flavor throughout the broth and significantly enhances the stew’s depth of taste.
  • When making chili oil with red chili powder, always use low heat—high heat causes the powder to burn quickly, resulting in a bitter taste.
  • For a restaurant-quality flavor, adding a small amount of beef dashi at the end gives the dish a familiar, satisfyingly rich taste that sticks to the palate.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a hearty, spicy, and bold soup for a satisfying meal.
  • Home cooks who want to recreate the rich, umami-packed broth of a specialty tofu stew restaurant.
  • Fans of the harmonious blend of shrimp paste and chili oil, craving a refreshing yet deeply flavorful stew.
