Cooking tips

  • Maintaining a 1:2 ratio of kimchi weight to water ensures a rich, deeply flavored kimchi jjim with just the right amount of broth.
  • Simmering covered over low heat for 30 minutes and then letting it rest for 10 minutes is key to achieving tender kimchi texture.
  • If the kimchi is very sour, add about 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to balance the acidity.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a deeply flavored kimchi jjim with a foolproof golden ratio.
  • Those looking for a main dish with Spam and spicy tuna that will have you finishing a whole bowl of rice in no time.
