Cooking tips

Sauté the kimchi in pork fat until it takes on a light golden hue—this ensures the sourness mellows and the broth becomes richer.
Pre-roast the dried anchovies over low heat until crisp; adding them directly enhances depth of flavor without needing extra broth, while eliminating any fishy odor.

Recommended for

Those who prefer a hearty, richly flavored kimchi stew with a deep, savory pork base.
