Cooking tips

  • Adding coarse chili powder from the beginning will result in a dark, sour color. Always add it only five minutes before turning off the heat to achieve a bright, appetizing red hue.
  • Dissolving the chili powder in hot broth before adding prevents clumping and eliminates raw chili aroma.
  • The base should be slightly under-seasoned since it will be further reduced during cooking—this is normal.

Recommended for

  • Those who have struggled with balancing fish stew seasonings.
  • Those who want to make large batches of base in advance to eliminate weekly side dish worries.
