Lim Sung-geun's Traditional Budae Jjigae

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.
