First, let’s prepare the braising sauce. In a bowl, combine 500ml of stock (anchovy and kelp stock works wonderfully), 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder), 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp minced garlic, and a handful of chopped green onions. Mix everything well to create the sauce. You can adjust the amount of gochugaru to your spice preference or omit it if you prefer. Adding some thinly sliced onion is also a great option for extra flavor.
