Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The oil inside the tuna can contains concentrated umami and richness from the tuna itself—never discard it. Use it as the base fat when sautéing the kimchi for maximum flavor.
  • The combination of anchovy sauce and domestic oyster sauce delivers a full-bodied, deep broth flavor without needing to make separate stock—this is the ultimate shortcut for student cooking.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a perfectly seasoned, spicy stew in just 10 minutes without the hassle of making dashi or fish stock separately.
  • Students looking to recreate restaurant-quality spicy broth using basic ingredients always stocked in their dorm fridge: fresh kimchi, tuna can, and sundubu.
