Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pour 2 cups of rice water into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the rice water is boiling, proceed to the next step.

Prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini into half-moons, dice the Spam and tofu into bite-sized pieces, and thinly slice the onion. Chop the scallions.

Once the water is at a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and dissolve 1 Tbsp of gochujang into the water. Ensure the gochujang is smoothly incorporated without lumps.
Step 4
When the gochujang broth returns to a boil, add the beef brisket and let it cook briefly. Once the brisket is partially cooked, add the prepared zucchini, Spam, tofu, and onion in order.
Step 5
After the stew simmers for a bit, add 1 Tbsp of fish sauce and 1 tsp of minced garlic to adjust the seasoning. Finally, add the chopped scallions and simmer for about 1 more minute.
