👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Prepare the aromatic base: In a medium-sized pot or a traditional Korean earthenware pot (ttukbaegi), heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
⏱️ 1 minute - 2
Bloom the chili flakes: Add the gochugaru to the pot and stir constantly for about 1 minute until it darkens slightly and releases its aroma. This step is crucial for developing the deep red color and spicy flavor of the stew.
⏱️ 1 minute - 3
Add the broth and optional vegetables: Pour in the anchovy kelp broth (or your chosen broth). If using, add sliced mushrooms or zucchini now. Bring the broth to a gentle boil.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Cook the seafood: Add the prepared seafood (clams, shrimp, etc.) to the boiling broth. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the seafood is just cooked through. Clams should open, and shrimp should turn pink and opaque. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Add the tofu and season: Gently break the silken tofu into large chunks and carefully add them to the stew. Stir in the soy sauce (if using). Taste the broth and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the tofu to heat through and absorb the flavors.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Finish and serve: Carefully crack one raw egg into the center of each serving bowl, directly into the hot stew. Garnish generously with sliced scallions. Serve immediately while piping hot, ideally in the pot it was cooked in (like a ttukbaegi) to keep it warm.
