Main Ingredients
- 2 cans (250g each) tuna
- 1/4 head of well-fermented kimchi
- 1 block of tofu
- 1/2 onion
- 1/3 zucchini
- A handful of green onions
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, add all the ingredients: tuna (you can drain some of the oil if you prefer), kimchi cut into bite-sized pieces, tofu cubed, onion thinly sliced, zucchini sliced into half-moons, and green onions roughly chopped. The key to this recipe is adding everything to the pot at once after preparing them!
Step 2
Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients generously. Adjust the amount of water based on the saltiness and quantity of your kimchi. Using anchovy-kelp broth instead of water will add a deeper flavor.
Step 3
Once the stew begins to boil, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. The pungent aroma and savory notes of garlic will enhance the overall flavor profile of the Kimchi Stew.
Step 4
If your kimchi is particularly sour, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to gently balance the acidity. Sugar helps harmonize the flavors without overpowering the kimchi itself.
Step 5
Finally, add a bit more green onion for a fresh aroma. Adding too much at the beginning can result in a raw taste, so adding it towards the end preserves its fragrant essence.
Step 6
Taste the stew as it simmers and season with salt if needed. Since kimchi is already salty, it’s crucial to add salt gradually while tasting.
Step 7
If you have chicken stock, try adding a little instead of salt. Chicken stock adds a richer and deeper umami flavor than salt, making your Kimchi Stew even more delicious. This method is highly recommended!
Step 8
Once the stew is bubbling and has absorbed the flavors of all the ingredients, it’s ready! Serve it hot over rice for a wonderful home-cooked meal, or enjoy it with a shot of soju as the perfect drinking snack. Enjoy your super simple Tuna Kimchi Stew!
