Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 can (200g) canned ham
  • 1 pack soft tofu
  • half an onion
  • half a pack enoki mushrooms
  • 4–5 perilla leaves
  • 1–2 Cheongyang chili peppers
  • half tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon anchovy fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons gochugaru
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup water
  • a little sesame seeds

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a bowl, combine half tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon anchovy fish sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons gochugaru, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 cup water. Mix well to make the braising sauce.
  2. Place the canned ham in a plastic bag and crush it with your hands, or finely chop it into small pieces with a knife.
  3. Heat a little cooking oil in a pan, add the prepared ham, and stir-fry until the bottom is golden brown and the oil is rendered.
  4. Push the cooked ham to the sides of the pan, spread the sliced onion in the center, then pour in the prepared sauce.
  5. Cut the soft tofu in half, place it on top of the onion in the center, then break it into bite-sized chunks using a spoon or spatula.
  6. Top with trimmed enoki mushrooms, perilla leaves, and sliced Cheongyang chili peppers. If desired, sprinkle a little more gochugaru on top.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer gently until the tofu is heated through and the vegetables are wilted.
  8. Open the lid, spoon the reduced sauce over the tofu and vegetables to coat evenly, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and simmer briefly to finish.
  1. Mix fish sauce, oyster sauce, gochugaru, soy sauce, and water to make a savory braising sauce.
  2. In a pan, brown the crushed ham to render oil, then layer on onion, sauce, and soft tofu.
  3. Top with mushrooms, perilla leaves, and chili peppers, cover and simmer on low heat, then spoon the sauce over to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you don't have anchovy fish sauce, you can substitute tuna sauce or sand lance fish sauce. If you have no fish sauce at all, adjust the seasoning by adding a bit more oyster sauce.
  • Brown the ham until it seems almost too crispy; this will infuse the sauce with deep savory flavor and richness, as if you made broth from pork.
  • Since sundubu releases water as it cooks, avoid adding too much water initially—this is the secret to a thick, reduced braise.
