Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not soak old kimchi in water for too long, as it may lose its characteristic kimchi flavor—rinse only briefly.
  • Avoid using too much minced garlic, as it can leave a bitter aftertaste; stick to about 1/2 tablespoon.
  • Never add perilla oil at the beginning, as its aroma will evaporate during cooking—add it only at the very end.
  • If the old kimchi is too mild, adjust to taste by adding a small amount of anchovy sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to use up old kimchi stored in the fridge with a spicy, savory twist.
  • Home cooks wanting a flavorful side dish made solely from anchovies without additional meat.
  • People who want a soft, satisfying kimchi steamed kimchi ready in a short time without prolonged cooking.
