Advice

Keep the simmer gentle after adding tofu, a soft bubble keeps the stew clear and the tofu cubes silky, not broken. 🫧

Why it works πŸ’‘

Doenjang brings fermented depth, and kelp broth adds natural glutamates, so the stew tastes rich and restaurant worthy without meat. πŸ’‘

Twist 🌢️

Add 120 g Korean radish (1 cup / 4.2 oz) with the potato for extra sweetness, or finish with 5 ml toasted sesame oil (1 tsp / 0.17 fl oz) for a more premium aroma. 🌢️
