Korean Cooking Session - Tuna Kimchi Stew (Chamchi Kimchi jjigae 참치 김치 찌개)

안녕하세요 여러분~

Hi guys!!
For today's cooking session, I'll show you how to make Kimchi stew or Kimchi Jjigae. This is the perfect dish if you really love to enjoy kimchi. As what I know, Korean love to add pork in this stew but as a Muslim for sure I will not put pork but instead I use tuna and beef. 

My favourite is with tuna so in this recipe I will share this type of kimchi stew.



First, let me introduce the ingredients. 

1 tbs cooking oil
1/2 of slice onion
1 cup of well fermented Kimchi
1 can of tuna
1/2 or 1 cup of kimchi water / water
1-2 tofu or soft tofu

spring onion to garnish
chili powder (if want more spicy)


Now, let's cook!!

  1. Heat the pot and put the oil. 
  2. Put the onion and stir till it golden brown then put the kimchi and stir for a while.
  3. After that, put the can tuna in the pot and stir well.
  4. Put kimchi water / water in the pot and let it for 3-5 minutes until it boil.
  5. Put tofu inside the pot and stir a bit. 
  6. Turn off the heat
  7. When serve, garnish the stew with chopped spring onion. 
  8. You can add chili powder when cook the stew if you want more spicy. 

Good luck and have a nice weekend~
