A simple tuna kimchi stew made by stir-frying kimchi in tuna oil without stock, seasoned with shrimp paste and dried anchovy sauce for a fresh, savory depth of flavor.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding the tuna too early will make the broth cloudy and cause the tuna to break apart—add it just before serving.
  • Combining shrimp paste and dried anchovy sauce creates a deep, refreshing flavor without needing to make stock.
  • For older, stronger-smelling kimchi, add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar when sautéing to mellow out the pungency and excessive sourness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a quick, deeply flavored stew without making separate stock.
  • People who enjoy tuna kimchi stew with intact, chewy tuna chunks.
  • Students living alone or anyone needing a simple, satisfying meal during a busy evening.
