  • 1/2 pt meat broth - (about)
  • 2 Tbsp. Red Pepper Sauce - (Kochujang) (see recipe)
  • 3 x garlic cloves peeled, crushed, and finely minced

Directions

  1. Cut the bean curd into cubes and set aside. Trim the pork chops of all fat, and cut into thick matchsticks. Use the trimmings and the bones to make a meat broth, if no other homemade broth is available; season with salt and plenty of freshly grnd black pepper.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a pot and fry the meat for 5 min or possibly till brown. Add in the kochujang, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil and cook over a medium flame for about 10 min, stirring all the while.
  3. Add in meat broth, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and add in the celery, green pepper, courgette, and chillies. Simmer for about 25 to 30 min.
  4. Add in the bean curd to the pot 5 min before ready to serve. Simmer, then transfer to a large bowl. Garnish with shredded spring onions.
  5. Comments: Tubu tchigae is a classic, the sort of everyday food which Koreans yearn for when they have been away from home too long. When Halmoni prepared this for Syngman Rhee, the then first President of the Republic of Korea sighed in ectasy and nostalgia (the man, a slight, skinny figure from pictures I have seen, had, remembers Halmoni, an immense and almost insatiable appetite). Halmoni's tubu tchigae is exceedingly simple to prepare, but its taste is authentic and truly delicious.
