Do Ahead - (45 min - 8 min work)
- Make Anchovy Stock if you don't have it (or another suitable
Stock) on hand (see Note-5).
Prep - (1-3/4 hrs - 25 min work)
- Cut MEAT Into small pieces, less than 1/4 inch thick.
- Soak MUSHROOMS in warm water for at least 1-1/2 hours.
Drain and cut into 1/4 inch dice.
- Mix all Paste items until Chili Flake has absorbed all the
Sesame Oil. Set aside.
- Dice ONION small.
- Crush GARLIC and chop small
- For Garnish, slice SCALLION GREENS crosswise about 1/4 inch.
Run - (35 min)
- In a coverable sauté pan or similar, heat Oil. A 3-1/2
quart will give you plenty of real estate for handling the Eggs. Stir in
Onion mix and fry stirring until Translucent.
- Stir in Garlic, then Meat and Mushrooms. Fry
stirring until meat takes a little color, then stir in Stock.
Simmer covered until Meat is cooked, about 10 to 20 minutes depending
on type of meat and how it is cut.
- Uncover and bring to a boil. IF using Soft Tofu, cut the
tubes in half and squeeze into the Stew. IF using Silken
Tofu, scoop it out in large chunks. Once it is in, break it up evenly
into medium bite size pieces with a wooden spatula.
- Stir in Paste mix and Fish Sauce. When it comes back to
a simmer, cover and hold there for about 3 minutes.
Eggs - (5 min)
- When ready to Serve: with the stew bubbling, crack as many
EGGS as there will be servings (1 to 4) onto the stew. It will
help to crack them into small shallow bowls first to make sure the
yolks stay intact. Let cook 2 minutes. Without disturbing the eggs,
spoon stew into individual serving bowls. Scoop up an Egg and
place it into each bowl. The Yolks should still be liquid.
- Serve immediately, garnished with Scallion Greens.
Accompany with Steamed Medium Grain (California) Rice (see
Note-6.
