Cooking tips

  • Rinsing the spam in hot water before adding it to the stew removes its greasy surface and any artificial flavor, resulting in a cleaner, more balanced broth.
  • Since jjagglie is meant to be served with a thick, sticky sauce spooned generously over rice, it’s key to cut all vegetables and ham into uniformly small, bite-sized pieces—smaller than usual for regular stews.
  • Adding plenty of sliced green chili peppers at the end ensures a bold, fiery kick that perfectly balances the richness of the tuna and spam.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a restaurant-quality main stew using leftover vegetables, a can of tuna, and one pack of spam.
  • Anyone looking to enjoy a single bowl of spicy stew that can easily clear a full bowl of rice without needing any other side dishes.
