Main Ingredients- Store-bought beef bone broth: 1-2 pouches (adjust quantity to your preference)
- Well-fermented ripe kimchi: 1-2 ladles (including kimchi juice)
- Canned ham (Spam, etc.): As much as you like (approx. 1/2 to 1 can)
- Ramen noodles: 1/2 packet
- Red chili pepper: A small piece (optional, for color and aroma)
Seasoning- Red chili powder: 1-2 tablespoons (adjust based on kimchi’s saltiness and spiciness)
- Red chili powder: 1-2 tablespoons (adjust based on kimchi’s saltiness and spiciness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the store-bought beef bone broth pouches. While homemade broth is wonderful, store-bought options can also yield a deep and rich flavor. Finely chop the ripe kimchi into bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 cm). Don’t discard the kimchi juice; we’ll use it! Slice the canned ham into your desired pieces, and thinly slice the red chili pepper into slanted pieces for garnish.
Step 2
Heat a pot of appropriate size over medium heat. Once the pot is warm, add a little cooking oil. Add the chopped kimchi and stir-fry until fragrant and softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir-frying the kimchi reduces its sourness and enhances its savory flavor.
Step 3
Once the kimchi is softened, add the sliced canned ham and stir-fry with the kimchi for another 1-2 minutes. Stir-frying the ham releases its oils, further enhancing the stew’s aroma. Cook just until the ham is slightly browned.
Step 4
Now, pour the prepared beef bone broth into the pot with the stir-fried kimchi and ham. Add the kimchi juice as well. The savory liquid from stir-frying the kimchi, combined with the beef bone broth, will create a deep and rich base for the stew.
Step 5
To add a vibrant color and a pleasant spicy kick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of red chili powder. Adjust the amount based on the saltiness and spiciness of your kimchi, and your personal preference. Stir the broth to ensure the chili powder is well dissolved.
Step 6
Finally, add half a packet of ramen noodles and simmer until all ingredients are cooked through. The ramen noodles add a delightful chewy texture to the kimchi stew, making it even more enjoyable. Once the broth has thickened slightly and all the ingredients have melded together, your delicious and hearty beef bone broth kimchi stew is ready. You can also add chopped green onions or minced garlic if you like.
