RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS


Step One

Preheat your earthenware clay pot (TtukBaeGhee 뚝배기) or cast iron pot (or use any heavy bottom pot) on high heat for 2 minutes. Cut the bacon into small pieces. (You can substitute any pork meat.). Add the bacon, salt and black pepper, and stir fry on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the scallion root-ends only and continue stir frying another minute on high heat.

  • 100 Grams Bacon 베이컨 (or pork meat 돼지고기)

  • 🌱Vegan: Use plant based bacon/meat & 3 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

  • ¼ Cup Scallion (root-end only) OR 대파 (Welsh onion)

  • 1 Pinch 큰꼬집 Salt 소금

  • 1 Small Pinch 작은 꼬집 Black Pepper 후추

By now, the bacon fat should be rendered. If you are not a big fan of bacon fat, take out about half of the bacon fat from the pot.


Step Two

Quickly add the GoChuGaRu to the pot and stir it for about 5 seconds to mix with the bacon oil. Quickly add the following ingredients and cover with the lid. Lower the heat to medium and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes.

  • 2.5 Cups 컵 Hot Water

  • 15 Grams Korean radish 무 (substitution: red/pink radishes) cut into small pieces

  • ½ Small 작은 Onion 양파 cut into small chuncks

  • 1 Tablespoon 큰술 Minced Garlic 다진 마늘

  • 1 Anchovy Dashi Pack 멸치 다시팩

  • *OR 3 Dashi Anchovy 다시멸치 & 1 Small Dashima (dried sea kelp) 다시마 작은 조각

  • 🌱Vegan: Use 3 - 4 Small Dashima (dried sea kelp) 다시마 작은 조각

Then remove the Anchovy Dashi pack, place it in a bowl and squeeze to extract any broth, back into the pot.


Step Three

Cut the extra soft/silken tofu tube down the middle with a knife. Gently squeeze to release into the pot. Using a spoon break up the tofu. Add the following ingredient, and cook on high heat for 5 minutes.

  • 22 Ounces Extra Soft/Silken Tofu (2 packages)

  • 8 Slices Carrot 얇게 썬 당근

  • 1/2 Tablespoon 큰술 Guk Soy Sauce 국간장 (all-purpose soy sauce is fine to use)

  • 1 Teaspoon 작은술 Brown Sugar 흑설탕

  • 1 Teaspoon 작은술 Beef Dashida 쇠고기 다시다 (optional)

  • 🌱Vegan: Use YeonDu 연두 (plant based broth enhancer https://amzn.to/3s0xrpN)

Five minutes later, add the zucchini to the pot. (Zucchini does not need to cook much, as the heat of the broth will cook it.) Turn off the heat, and now it is time to taste test the broth.

  • 4 Slices Zucchini 얇게 썬 호박 (cut into small pieces)


Step Four

Taste Testing The Broth

Taste the broth and see if the saltiness and spiciness is to your liking. The broth should taste salty enough that with warm Korean rice, it is a perfectly balanced taste. Add more salt to your preference. If too salty, add some hot water.


Now, if you want a spicier taste, instead of adding more GoChuGaRu (Korean red pepper chili), add some slices of any fresh green and/or red peppers. Just remove the inner seeds before adding to the stew. (Split the peppers in half. Using a spoon, scrape off the inner seeds. Then slices and add to the pot.) Stir it for 10 seconds or so and have a taste.


Now, if the broth is too spicy for you. (Then next time, add 1/4 less of the GoChuGaRu.). You can try to make it less spicy by adding some water and 1 teaspoon of sugar. You will need to add salt to adjust the taste. But remember, Korean soondubu jjigae is NOT suppose to taste sweet whatsoever. BUT before you start adjusting to lessen the spicy taste, try having some with a warm Korean rice first. You might actually like the spicy taste when mixed in with Korean rice.


Once you are done with taste testing, garnish with the scallion, and a light drizzle of sesame oil. Now your homemade Soft Tofu Stew is ready. ENJOY!
