Gochujang Jjigae

The gochujang jjigae (Korean red chili paste stew) often seen in Korean dramas or variety shows is easier to make than you might think.

Follow the recipe below carefully!

1. Chop onion, zucchini, carrot, potato, and green onion into pieces about the length of two finger joints.

2. Cut tofu and pork shoulder (or hind leg) into pieces similar in size to the chopped vegetables.

3. Heat a pot and lightly sear the pork. Add a bit of soju (or white wine) and a pinch of sugar.

4. Add the prepared gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the meat and stir-fry together.

5. When the meat is half cooked, add all the vegetables except tofu and green onion, then cover with a lid.

6. Once the potatoes and carrots are cooked through, add the tofu and green onion, cook for another 5 minutes — and your delicious dish is ready! 🍲
