Solo Cooking God's Thick-cut Pork and Tofu Stew

A clean, slightly thickened stew made without soybean paste or gochujang, using only soy sauce, anchovy sauce, and oyster sauce for a rich, non-greasy flavor, featuring thick-cut pork belly and soft tofu.

🙋 Recommended for

  • ⭐ Those who want to quickly enjoy a hearty bowl of rice without worrying about side dishes
  • ⭐ People looking for a stew with a thicker broth than regular tofu stew, packed with generous chunks of meat
  • ⭐ Fans of one-pot cooking who prefer simply layering ingredients in a pot and letting them simmer

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • thick-cut pork belly 150~200g
  • soft tofu 1 pack
  • onion 1/2
  • green onion 1/2
  • pine mushroom 1 pack
  • soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • anchovy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
  • sugar 1 tablespoon
  • red chili powder 2 tablespoons

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce 1 tablespoon, anchovy sauce 1 tablespoon, oyster sauce 1 tablespoon, sugar 1 tablespoon, and red chili powder 2 tablespoons to make the all-purpose seasoning sauce.
  2. Spread half a sliced onion and large pieces of green onion evenly across the bottom of a pot or deep frying pan.
  3. Cut the soft tofu pack in half and slice into thick pieces, then place them on top of the onion and green onion layer.
  4. Place 150~200g of thick-cut pork belly around the tofu, generously wrapping it.
  5. Pour the prepared all-purpose seasoning sauce evenly over the ingredients.
  6. Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat until the meat is fully cooked.
  7. Once moisture from the tofu and vegetables has released and the broth becomes thick, add the chopped pine mushrooms and continue cooking until the steam subsides.
  8. When the pork is fully cooked and the broth has reduced to a desirable thickness, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to finish.
  1. Mix soy sauce, anchovy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and red chili powder to create the all-purpose seasoning sauce.
  2. Layer onion, green onion, soft tofu, and thick-cut pork belly in a pan in order, pour the seasoning sauce over, cover, and cook.
  3. After the ingredients release moisture and the broth thickens, add pine mushrooms and toasted sesame seeds and cook briefly.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since no pastes are used, the broth remains clear and fresh without any greasy or heavy aftertaste.
  • The soft tofu and vegetables naturally release plenty of moisture, so there’s no need to add extra water—this results in a thick stew-like consistency.
  • Check the seasoning during cooking; if too bland, cook a bit longer to reduce and concentrate flavors; if too salty, add a small amount of water to adjust to taste.
