Chamchi-kimchi-jjigae is a hearty Korean stew made with kimchi, tuna, and other vegetables. It’s a popular comfort food known for its spicy and savory flavors.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound kimchi, rinsed and chopped
• 1 can tuna, drained

• 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 2 cups water or chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
• 1 scallion, chopped for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the kimchi and gochujang, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted.
3. Add the tuna, sugar, and soy sauce, and stir to combine.
4. Pour in the water or broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the flavors have blended.
5. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot, garnished with scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Tips:

• For a spicier stew, add more gochujang.
• If you don’t have gochujang, you can use chili flakes or red pepper powder.
• You can also add other vegetables to the stew, such as tofu, mushrooms, or carrots.
• This dish is best served with a bowl of steamed rice.
