Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Mix a small amount of store-bought doenjang into the gochujang base for a more natural, deeper umami flavor.
  • Do not discard the oil from the tuna can—using it as-is adds a rich, savory aroma that blends smoothly into the tofu.
  • Keep the lid off while simmering to effectively remove the tuna’s fishy smell and achieve a clean, well-balanced broth consistency.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly make a delicious side dish using basic fridge staples like tofu and canned tuna.
  • People craving a bold, rich stew that makes quick work of a whole bowl of rice.
  • Anyone looking for a clean, delicate stew without the hassle of frying tofu.
