Let's make Baek Jong-won's spicy and refreshing crab stew that is easy to make!

First, to make Baek Jong-won's crab stew, I prepare anchovy broth. My husband likes soup, so I usually make a large batch. This time as well, I made the anchovy broth by adding an anchovy broth pack to 700ml of water.

While the anchovy broth is simmering, prepare the ingredients. Please prepare an appropriate amount of each ingredient for your meal. Slice an appropriate amount of radish thinly into squares, just as you would for radish soup. Finely chop one green chili and one Cheongyang chili. Also, dice an appropriate amount of onion, and slice the shiitake mushrooms I had at home. After thawing the crab, rinse it once and place it in a sieve to drain the water.

- Ingredients can be substituted.

Once the anchovy broth comes to a boil, remove the broth pack, add the radish, and boil it once more. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the radish is cooked.

You should skim off the rising foam occasionally when it gathers in the center to enjoy it more cleanly.

After skimming off the foam, add the onions.

And please taste it. If you find it bland, you can adjust the seasoning with soup soy sauce. I added 0.5 spoonfuls and it suited my taste.

Since the seasoning varies from household to household depending on the amount and type of soybean paste used, please add it little by little and adjust the taste by adding more if needed.

I took out the green onions that I had portioned and frozen in advance and added them to Baek Jong-won's crab stew. I also added thinly sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms. You can also add enoki mushrooms.

Next, add Cheongyang peppers and red peppers to add a spicy kick. I added one of each. Bring it to a boil, then simmer over low heat until the broth is fully flavorful.

I put in one of each.

Then, bring it to a boil and simmer over low heat until the broth is fully flavorful.

It's finished. I ate it right after making it, so this is the only photo I have. Since I used frozen crab, the crab itself didn't have much meat and wasn't very tasty, but the broth was superb! It tastes much better if you buy fresh crab instead of frozen. Baek Jong-won's spicy and savory crab stew! Give it a try.
