Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the base broth for our delicious Aged Kimchi and Soybean Paste Stew. In a pot, combine 1300ml of water and a handful of dried anchovies. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer for about 5 minutes to extract the anchovy flavor. Once the broth is ready, strain out the anchovies to get a clear liquid.
Step 2
Lightly rinse the aged kimchi under running water to reduce excess sourness. Then, tear it into bite-sized pieces. If the stems are thick, you can chop them a bit finer for easier eating.
Step 3
Pour the prepared anchovy broth into a pot and add the torn aged kimchi.
Step 4
Dissolve 2 tablespoons of savory soybean paste into the stew, ensuring there are no lumps. You can adjust the amount of soybean paste based on its saltiness.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Bring the stew to a rolling boil over high heat and let it simmer vigorously for about 5 minutes, allowing the aged kimchi to soften and absorb flavors. This step is crucial for deepening the taste.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 30 minutes. Continue cooking until the aged kimchi becomes tender and the broth thickens beautifully. Your delicious Aged Kimchi and Soybean Paste Stew is now ready! Enjoy it with a warm bowl of rice.
