Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Crush the ham completely by hand instead of slicing it—this ensures the rich ham fat and umami flavor quickly seep into the broth during the short cooking time.
  • Adding a small amount of doenjang 1/2 tablespoon to the sauce helps balance the saltiness and artificial smell of canned ham, enhancing depth of flavor.
  • Serve generously over steamed white rice and mix well—this dish alone can easily clear two or three bowls without any additional side dishes.

Recommended for

  • People who are hungry after work and too tired to cook, wanting a fast and delicious rice dish in just 5 minutes.
  • Those who want to make a fancy stew using leftover canned ham and a block of tofu from their fridge during holidays.
  • Fans of bold, addictive spicy-salty stews perfect as a flavorful stir-fry-style soup for rice.
