Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
2-3 tbsp pork mince or finely diced pork belly
½-1 tsp kochugaru (Korean chilli powder)
1 tsp chilli oil
½-¾ cup water
½-1 cup vongole or substitute prawns or calamari (optional)
300g soft tofu
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 spring onion, sliced
½ green chilli, sliced (optional)
½ tsp Korean salted shrimp (optional)
1-2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a dookbaegi (Korean earthenware) or in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the pork quickly, for about 1 minute. Add the garlic and continue cooking for about 10 seconds.
Add the chilli powder and chilli oil and cook over a low heat for about 2 minutes. Stir well, making sure you don’t burn the chilli powder. Add the water and simmer for about 2 minutes.
Add the vongole and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shells have opened.
Add the tofu and bring to a boil. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 1-2 minutes.
