Lim Sung-geun's Zucchini Stew
A spicy and savory zucchini stew with pork and shrimp paste, where the sweet and umami flavors are maximized through careful sautéing.
Ingredients needed 2 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Instead of adding shrimp paste directly to the broth, sauté it first with the pork in oil—this eliminates its fishy smell and unleashes a rich, savory umami flavor.
- Chili powder burns easily, so after adding it, stir just briefly and either turn off the heat immediately or pour in the broth right away to keep the broth clean and bright.
- Zucchini breaks down quickly if overcooked, losing both texture and broth quality—simply cook it for about 3 minutes after adding to preserve freshness and mouthfeel.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make a restaurant-quality stew using leftover zucchini at home.
- People looking to master the technique of sautéing shrimp paste and chili powder for a bold, deeply flavorful broth.
