Instructions

  1. Prepare the base
    Heat vegetable oil in a Korean earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the white parts of green onions, diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and onions are translucent.
  2. Create the flavor base
    Add the Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru) and red pepper paste (gochujang) to the pot. Stir continuously for about 1 minute to prevent burning while developing a rich flavor base.
  3. Add liquid and seafood
    Pour in the seafood or anchovy stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the mixed seafood and fish sauce. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the seafood is almost cooked through but not completely done.
  4. Add tofu
    Gently break the silken tofu into large chunks and add to the stew. Do not stir too vigorously as the tofu can break apart easily. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the tofu is heated through and the flavors meld together.
  5. Finish the stew
    If using eggs, crack them directly into the simmering stew. Drizzle with sesame oil and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Cover and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
  6. Garnish and serve
    Sprinkle the green parts of the green onions over the stew. Serve immediately in the cooking pot (if using a ttukbaegi) or transfer to individual serving bowls. The stew should be bubbling hot when served.
