Seungwoo Dad's Basic Tomato Sauce

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Narrow, deep pots can easily burn at the bottom, so for beginners, using a wide frying pan that transfers heat evenly and quickly reduces the chance of failure.
• Minced beef only develops the Maillard reaction (brown color) after all its moisture has evaporated. Therefore, stir-frying for a sufficient amount of time until the moisture from both the onions and the meat is gone is essential for bringing out the savory flavor.
• As tomato sauce reduces, its saltiness intensifies. Avoid adding too much chicken stock or salt initially; it's safer to taste and adjust the seasoning in the final step after simmering for 15 minutes.
• Adding grated Parmesan cheese to the finished sauce helps to thicken it and adds a richer, nutty flavor.
