Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the vegetables are cut too finely, they will lose their texture after cooking, so cut them into large pieces that are easy to place on top of meat.
  • Leftover tuna ssamjang can be turned into a quick, deeply flavored tuna kimchi stew by adding kimchi and a little more water and boiling.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to serve a special homemade ssamjang instead of store-bought when grilling meat.
  • Those looking for a side dish to mix smoothly into rice when they have no appetite.
