Soak aged chonggak kimchi in cold water to remove its strong flavor, then simmer it in rich soybean paste and perilla oil for a delicious side dish that pairs perfectly with rice.

Cooking tips

  • Since the kimchi is rinsed before cooking, adding a pinch of flavor enhancer helps restore the missing umami depth.
  • Using mirin and dried anchovy together instead of rice washing water reduces effort while effectively eliminating any off-flavors from the aged chonggak kimchi.
  • For better flavor absorption, enjoy the finished stew after letting it cool slightly rather than eating it immediately while hot.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to transform tough, newly made aged chonggak kimchi into a delicious dish.
  • People who want to experience the authentic, hearty taste of a traditional rural home-style side dish.
