Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- canned ham 200g
- chopped kimchi 4 tablespoons
- vegetable oil 2 tablespoons
- green onion one handful
- onion one handful
- sugar 0.5 tablespoon
- soy sauce 1 tablespoon
- oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
- red pepper powder 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳
- Slice the canned ham into thick, large pieces without crushing them.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan, then place the sliced ham in and grill it on both sides until golden and crisp, turning frequently. Remove and set aside.
- Using the remaining ham oil, add chopped green onion and onion (one handful) and sauté until fragrant.
- When the onions become translucent and lose their rawness, add 4 tablespoons of chopped kimchi and 0.5 tablespoon of sugar to balance the sourness and enhance umami flavor.
- Pour in 2.5 cups of water, then add soy sauce 1 tablespoon, oyster sauce 1 tablespoon, red pepper powder 1 tablespoon, minced garlic 1 tablespoon, and chicken stock 0.5 tablespoon in sequence to adjust seasoning.
- Simmer over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, allowing the deep stew flavor to fully develop.
- Place the previously grilled ham in the center of the bubbling broth, arranging it neatly.
- Gently beat 2 eggs and pour the yellow egg mixture around the edges of the empty space surrounding the ham, forming a soft ring.
- Once the egg mixture becomes moist and fluffy, sprinkle with sliced green chili pepper and a pinch of parsley powder to finish.
- Grill thick slices of canned ham in vegetable oil until the surface is crispy, then set aside.
- In the leftover ham oil, sauté green onion, onion, kimchi, and sugar, then add water and seasonings and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Place the grilled ham in the center, pour egg mixture around the edges, and let it cook gently until moist and tender.
Cooking tips 💡
- Adding a small amount of sugar when sautéing kimchi helps balance the sourness and brings out a richer sweetness and umami depth.
- Grilling the ham until the exterior is crispy ensures it maintains a firm, chewy texture when mixed into the stew, preventing it from becoming soggy.
- After pouring in the egg mixture, avoid stirring with a spoon to prevent clouding the broth—let it cook undisturbed for a soft, moist finish.
