Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding saeujeot directly can cause a fishy smell, so make sure to stir-fry it in oil first to bring out its savory flavor.
  • Since soft tofu releases a lot of water, you must use a small amount of water at the beginning to prevent the stew from becoming too watery.

Recommended for

  • Those who always fail at soft tofu stew because the broth tastes too bland.
  • Those who want to quickly whip up a spicy stew with a deep umami flavor.
