Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add dried anchovies and kelp, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 8 minutes. Remove anchovies and kelp with a slotted spoon.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix gochugaru, gochujang, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir this paste into the broth until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Increase heat to medium-high and bring broth to a boil. Add clams first and cook for 2 minutes until they begin to open.

  4. Step 4

    Add shrimp, squid, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until clams fully open, shrimp are pink, and squid is tender.

  5. Step 5

    Discard any unopened clams. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or soy sauce as needed.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer stew to a serving pot or directly to bowls. Garnish with green onions and red chili pepper slices.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately over steamed rice with kimchi and banchan on the side.
