Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- vegetable oil 2~3 tablespoons
- scallion one handful
- pork belly 150g

- water 2 cups
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- dried anchovy sauce 3 tablespoons
- chicken stock 1/4 teaspoon

Recipe 🍳
- Heat 2~3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan or pot, then add one handful of chopped scallion and 150g of pork belly, and sauté together.
- Once the pork belly is partially cooked, cut it into bite-sized pieces using scissors.
- Add 2 tablespoons of chili powder and quickly stir-fry for about 10 seconds over medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t burn—this creates the chili oil.
- Pour in 2 cups of water, then add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of dried anchovy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon of chicken stock to make the stew broth.
- Cut the 1 pack of tofu into large chunks and add it along with one handful of sliced onion. Simmer for 5 minutes until bubbling.
- Finally, crack one egg into the pot, sprinkle with green chili pepper and pepper, and cook briefly to finish.
- Sauté scallion and pork belly in vegetable oil, then chop the meat finely.
- Add chili powder to create chili oil, then pour in water, minced garlic, dried anchovy sauce, and chicken stock.
- Add tofu and onion, simmer for 5 minutes, then finish with egg, green chili pepper, and pepper.
Cooking tips 💡
- After adding chili powder, avoid high heat as it can easily burn and turn bitter—quickly stir-fry for just 10 seconds over medium-low heat.
- You can substitute dried anchovy sauce with regular soy sauce or squid sauce; adjust seasoning at the end with salt if needed.
