This Man's Cook Spam Kimchi Jjigae
A spam kimchi stew that creates a deep, rich meaty broth by intentionally crushing part of the spam and sautéing it into the broth—no separate stock needed.

Recipe
Cooking tips
- Intentionally crushing part of the spam and sautéing it with the kimchi allows the rich fat and umami to fully dissolve into the broth, effectively replacing the need for separate stock.
- To balance the strong sourness of stale kimchi, adding 1/2 tablespoon of sugar early in the sautéing process helps mellow the sharpness and improves overall flavor harmony.
- Finishing with dried anchovy sauce instead of artificial seasonings enhances depth, freshness, and clean umami without relying on additives.
Recommended for
- Those who prefer a hearty, rich meaty broth like sundae jjigae rather than a light, sharp kimchi jjigae.
- Home cooks who want to make the ultimate rice-killer stew using only canned spam and stale kimchi they already have on hand.
- People looking for a method to create a deeply flavorful stew without the hassle of preparing separate fish or beef stock, even when using plain water.
