Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- water drop 1 handful
- tofu 1/2 block
- green chili pepper 1
- soybean paste 1 tablespoon
- gochujang 1 tablespoon
- beef dashi 0.5 tablespoon
- shellfish dashi 0.5 tablespoon
- stock pack 1
- water 500ml
Recipe 🍳
- Bring water and stock pack to a boil in a pot to extract a deep, clear broth.
- Once the broth is ready, remove the stock pack and stir in 1 tablespoon of soybean paste and 1 tablespoon of gochujang until well blended.
- To maximize the umami flavor, add 0.5 tablespoon each of beef dashi and shellfish dashi.
- Wash the water drop thoroughly and cut into finger-joint-sized pieces; finely chop the green chili pepper; cut the tofu into small cubes.
- Add the chopped tofu, water drop, and green chili pepper to the boiling stew one by one.
- Cover the pot and simmer gently for about 2 minutes until fully cooked.
- Mix soybean paste and gochujang into the broth made from the stock pack.
- Add beef dashi and shellfish dashi to enhance the savory depth of the broth.
- Add the prepared tofu, water drop, and green chili pepper, then simmer for 2 more minutes to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Water drop loses its fragrance if overcooked, so add it only at the final stage and briefly cook just until wilted.
- Mixing soybean paste and gochujang in a 1:1 ratio results in a bolder, richer, restaurant-style flavor.
