Cooking tips

  • Avoid stirring the stew too vigorously with a spoon when cooking the tuna, as this may break up the flesh and make the broth cloudy and messy—let it simmer undisturbed for a cleaner result.
  • If oyster sauce is unavailable, substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried anchovy sauce in equal amount for a similarly rich and refreshing depth of flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who love thick, spicy gochujang stew with a bold broth and want to enjoy it with a bowl of hot rice or paired with a glass of soju.
  • Home cooks seeking to create a restaurant-quality gochujang jjigae using only a tuna can, potato, and basic vegetables—without meat.
