A traditional Yongsan-style budae jjigae recipe with deep umami flavor from rice washing water and packaged galbi

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use high-salt, ready-made sausage and ham designed for stews—lower-salt versions won’t deliver the proper broth flavor.
  • A wide, shallow stew pot works better than a deep one, allowing ingredients to blend evenly and achieve authentic budae jjigae taste.
  • Do not serve immediately after the stew starts boiling—simmer for at least 5 more minutes to let the natural umami of the ingredients fully develop in the broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate authentic Yongsan-style budae jjigae with rich, deep broth at home.
  • People seeking a fail-proof, golden ratio stew seasoning mix.
