Ingredients needed 4 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Completely mashing the ham without any chunks will allow its savory flavor to deeply infuse the entire sauce, mimicking the effect of adding meat.
- Adding too much water from the start will turn the dish into a soup rather than a jjageuli, so controlling the water level to just cover the ingredients is key.
- Boiling rapidly over high heat won't develop a deep flavor. Allow time over low heat for the potato starch and ham fat to dissolve into the sauce.
- The saltiness can vary depending on the brand of canned ham used (like Spam), so it's recommended to adjust the soy sauce to your taste while cooking.
Recommended for
- Those who want a guaranteed rice thief dish that can finish a bowl of rice without any other side dishes.
- Those who want to make the most delicious meal using leftover potatoes and canned ham at home.
- Those looking for an intuitive and easy recipe where all ingredients are added at once and simmered without complicated steps.
