Cooking tips
- Using only beef bone broth may make the broth too heavy, so mixing in some water helps keep the broth clean and balanced.
- For better flavor, use dried anchovy powder made by finely grinding cleaned anchovies (removing guts and heads) in a blender.
- For added richness, you can optionally sauté pork or tuna along with the kimchi at the beginning, depending on your preference.
Recommended for
- Those looking to use up leftover sour kimchi or wanting a deep, rich stew broth.
- Home cooks who want to achieve restaurant-style umami flavor using just ssamjang, without relying on extra seasonings.
