Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding about half a tablespoon of sugar helps balance the natural bitterness of soybean paste and enhances the umami depth.
  • Mixing fine and coarse red pepper powder in equal amounts (half a tablespoon each) results in a more refined and visually appealing color for the stew.
  • After adding seafood, avoid high heat—simmer gently over medium-low flame to prevent the broth from becoming heavy or thickened.
  • If the final taste is too mild, adjust seasoning with a small amount of salt or dashi sauce to suit your preference.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy a rich, deep broth with both meat and seafood.
  • Fans of the popular Cha Seung-won-style recipe featured on TV wanting to recreate it at home.
  • People looking for a special, generous, and satisfying meal instead of a regular soybean paste stew.
