Cooking tips
- For authentic flavor, always use well-fermented fresh kimchi rather than unripe kimchi in kimchi stew.
- The secret to a deep, rich broth lies in simmering the pork in water with shrimp paste instead of frying it in oil.
- If the broth reduces too quickly during long simmering, add water gradually to maintain proper consistency.
- Adding green onions and chili peppers at the very end preserves their crisp texture and bright color, making the stew more visually appealing and appetizing.
- For a restaurant-style bold umami flavor, you may add a small amount of sugar or MSG—about 1/5 teaspoon—to enhance depth.
Recommended for
- Those who struggle to achieve deep flavor in their kimchi stew every time.
- People who love the rich, savory taste of pork fat in soup.
- Those seeking a simple, successful recipe that relies only on long simmering without complicated steps.
