Stew Ingredients
- 1 can (340g) Spam
- 1 piece aged kimchi (about 1/4 cabbage)
- 1 ladle kimchi brine (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1/2 stalk green onion
- 1 Korean chili pepper (optional)
Broth and Seasoning
- 800ml water (about 4 cups)
- 2 Tbsp tuna extract (or fish sauce)
- A little anchovy sauce or soy sauce (for seasoning)
- 800ml water (about 4 cups)
- 2 Tbsp tuna extract (or fish sauce)
- A little anchovy sauce or soy sauce (for seasoning)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for the stew. Slice the green onion diagonally. Cut the onion into thin strips. If you like a bit of heat, slice the Korean chili pepper diagonally as well.
Step 2
Chop the well-fermented kimchi into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3cm). Place the chopped kimchi into a pot. Add 1 ladle of kimchi brine; this will add a deep umami flavor to the stew.
Step 3
You can lightly rinse the Spam under lukewarm water to reduce its saltiness. Cut the Spam into similar bite-sized pieces as the kimchi and add it to the pot.
Step 4
Now, pour 800ml of water into the pot. The amount of water should be enough to mostly cover the ingredients.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of tuna extract for extra savory flavor. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the kimchi is tender and the broth is deeply flavored.
Step 6
Once the kimchi is sufficiently cooked, add the prepared green onions and onions to the pot. Continue to boil for a little longer. The stew is even tastier when the onions become translucent, releasing their sweetness.
Step 7
Finally, adjust the seasoning. Taste the broth and add a little anchovy sauce or soy sauce to suit your preference. If desired, you can also add 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic for extra flavor. Once all the ingredients are well combined, your delicious Spam Kimchi Stew is ready!
