Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The oil from the tuna can is essential for umami—never discard it; always use it to sauté the kimchi and seasonings.
  • Adding 1 tablespoon of doenjang helps balance the richness of gochujang, resulting in a deeper, cleaner broth.
  • To achieve the authentic texture of jjagglie, cover the pot and simmer for at least 15 minutes so the vegetables and potatoes blend into a thick, creamy broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a much richer and thicker stew than regular kimchi jjigae.
  • People who enjoy eating just one bowl of stew piled high on rice and mixing it all together.
