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.
