Kim Dae-seok's Tuna and Potato Jjigae

A special jjigae made by simmering tuna and potatoes that don't break apart in a rich, savory marinade flavored with tomato spaghetti sauce.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soaking potatoes in soy sauce and maltose beforehand prevents them from breaking apart and gives them a chewy texture during cooking.
  • Adding just 1 tablespoon of tomato spaghetti sauce brings a deep, natural umami flavor and a satisfyingly clingy taste without being artificial.
  • Never add tuna at the beginning—its flesh will fall apart and make the broth cloudy. Always add it last with the vegetables.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a special, deeply savory twist on regular radish jjigae.
  • People wanting to make a hearty, filling side dish using tuna and potatoes.
  • Anyone curious about the technique for perfectly cooking radish and potatoes without them falling apart.
