Cooking tips

  • Never stir the tuna meat into the kimchi at the beginning—doing so will crush the flesh, making the broth cloudy and making it hard to find the tuna. Always add it at the very end.
  • To achieve deep flavor quickly, keep the heat at maximum throughout the entire process and ensure the kimchi is fully dried during stir-frying.
  • If you don’t have all-purpose seasoning (dashi), use tuna liquid or fish sauce instead. If no seasonings are available, increase the yeojo ganjang by 1 additional tablespoon.

Recommended for

  • People who want a quick, easy, and deeply flavorful kimchi stew with limited time.
  • Those who prefer a clean, satisfying stew where tuna pieces remain intact and chewable.
  • Students living alone looking to make a delicious meal with minimal tools and seasonings.
