About this dish

A handful of crown daisy goes into the broth once the oysters and tofu are cooked, and the heat goes off as soon as it starts to wilt.

The seasoning is soup soy sauce, which keeps the broth from turning dark.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Submerge 220 grams of fresh oysters in a bowl of lightly salted water, rinse away any remaining shell fragments gently, then drain them in a mesh sieve to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Pour 700ml of anchovy stock into a pot and add 120g of Korean radish sliced into 0.5cm thick pieces, boiling on high for 7 minutes until the radish releases its natural sweetness.

  3. 3

    Stir in 1 tablespoon of Korean chili flakes and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, then season with 1.5 tablespoons of soup soy sauce to maintain a clear, pale, and transparent broth color.

  4. 4

    Add 180g of firm tofu and the prepared oysters to the pot, then simmer on medium-low for 5 minutes until the oysters become plump and release their savory, briny juices into the broth.

  5. 5

    Toss in 40g of sliced green onions and 70g of crown daisy, cooking for just 1 minute.

    Turn off the heat immediately to preserve the crown daisy's delicate, aromatic, and herbal fragrance.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle a small amount of black pepper to finish the seasoning if desired, then transfer the hot stew to a bowl and serve immediately while the broth and aromatics are fresh and warm.

Tips

Add oysters late; overcooking makes them tough.
Crown daisy wilts fast, so cook it very briefly.
