Ingredients
- 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1/2 onion chopped, small
- 1/4 cup asian leek or green onion, chopped
- 1 can (250g) tuna or solid tuna in oil (See note below, Korean hot pepper
- 1 tbsp gochugaru Korean chili flakes
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tube (400g, 1 lb) silken tofu
- 1/2 zucchini sliced
- 1 handful mushroom any kind
- 1 cup (240 ml) rice water see note below
- 1 tbsp Korean soup soy sauce also known as gukganjang
- 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 egg optional
- 1 fresh chilli sliced, optional
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot on medium-high. Add onion and leek (or green onion) and cook until they're soft, about a minute. Put in the Korean canned tuna, garlic, and gochugaru, and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add tofu and rice water. Make sure the water doesn't completely cover the ingredients. Add zucchini slices and mushroom and bring the stew to boil. When it's boiling, turn the heat to medium and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in Korean soup soy sauce and fish sauce for flavor and seasoning. If you like, add some salt.
- Crack an egg on top and sprinkle with fresh chili (if using). Turn off the heat, and the hot stew will cook the egg. When serving, mix the yolk for a creamy taste. Enjoy your stew alongside fresh short-grain rice.
Notes
- For Plain Solid Tuna: If you're using oil-packed solid tuna, drain the oil but set aside a tablespoon for cooking. When introducing the tuna, also add 1 teaspoon of gochujang and 1-2 tablespoons of gochugaru. Proceed as per the recipe from there.
- Rice water: Don't throw away that starchy water from rinsing rice. Remember to set aside a small amount of the rice rinse water.
