Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using the leftover scraps from making jeon and adding them to the pot lets the animal fat from the ham and the umami from the tuna deepen the broth.
  • If the tangy kimchi you're using is overly sour, add about half a tablespoon of sugar to balance the sourness and enhance the savory flavor.
  • At the final stage, check the seasoning: if it's too bland, add salt or soup soy sauce; for more heat, add a bit of spicy green pepper.

Recommended for

  • For those who want a spicy and refreshing stew to settle the stomach after eating too many greasy fried dishes.
  • For solo dwellers who want to use up awkward leftover canned ham and tuna without waste.
  • For those who want to make a quick, hearty kimchi jjigae without the time to prepare a separate stock.
