Solo Cooking God's Tuna Gang-doenjang-jjigae

A rice-stealing gang-doenjang-jjigae that skips the fuss of stir-frying by combining vegetables and seasonings in an earthenware pot, simmering, then finishing with a can of tuna and perilla oil for extra richness.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Adding tuna at the beginning can cause it to break apart and develop a fishy taste, so always add it in the final cooking stage.
  • Do not discard the oil from the tuna can—using it whole infuses the stew with deep flavor and a rich, unctuous nuttiness.
  • There is no need to sauté or stir-fry ingredients in oil separately; simply simmer everything with the seasoning paste, making this dish easy even for beginners.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a stew side dish that can be gently mixed into a bowl of hot white rice.
  • Those who want to deliciously use up the odds and ends of vegetables lingering in the fridge.
  • Those who want deep, traditional jang (fermented paste) flavor with minimal cooking time and effort.
