Cooking tips

  • Thoroughly rinse the fresh kimchi to remove excess seasoning and brine—this maximizes the clean, rich flavor unique to this jjim.
  • To reduce fishy odor when cooking anchovies, add mirin and always remove the heads and internal organs to prevent bitterness.
  • For the deepest flavor, gently cook the kimchi at the end until the broth nearly evaporates, ensuring the taste penetrates deeply into every piece.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to deliciously consume large amounts of leftover fresh or old kimchi they don’t know what to do with.
  • People wanting to recreate the nostalgic, deep, savory taste of grandmother’s dried anchovy kimchi jjim at home.
  • Anyone seeking a hearty, satisfying side dish that never gets boring, even when eaten repeatedly.
