Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Heat the oil in a medium pot or a traditional Korean earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Using a ttukbaegi helps keep the stew hot throughout the meal.
2
Add the sliced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Aproximativ 4 min.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Aproximativ 1 min.
4
Add the chopped kimchi and its juice, then add the gochugaru and sugar. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kimchi softens and develops a deeper flavor.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cooking the kimchi well is key to developing a rich base for the stew.
5
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Aproximativ 3 min.
6
Reduce the heat to a simmer, then add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adjust seasoning to your preference after a quick taste.
7
Gently add the silken tofu pieces to the simmering stew. Avoid stirring too vigorously to prevent breaking up the tofu too much.
Aproximativ 1 min.
8
Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the tofu to heat through.
Aproximativ 7 min.
9
Stir in half of the chopped green onion just before serving.
10
Ladle the hot stew into bowls and garnish with the remaining green onion.
Nota bucătarului: Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice.
