Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Sautéing the dipori and dried anchovies in a dry pan before making broth enhances clarity and depth while eliminating fishiness.
  • Omitting gochujang and relying on chili powder and soy sauce for seasoning ensures a clean, non-greasy broth with a sharp, refreshing finish.
  • The natural starch released by the potatoes as they cook enriches the broth, adding a deep umami flavor to the stew.
  • Generously brushing perilla oil around the pot before and during cooking helps blend the spicy chili broth with the rich, nutty oil for a smoother taste.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a hearty, spicy, and refreshing soup for a satisfying meal.
  • People who prefer a clean, crisp heat without heaviness in their stew.
  • Fans of rustic-style stews featuring harmonious combinations of tofu, mushrooms, and potatoes.
