Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Wash them thoroughly. Slice the onion thinly, and cut the green onion and chili peppers into diagonal pieces. Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Make the anchovy broth: In a pot, combine anchovies and dried kelp with 5-6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then remove the kelp. Strain out the anchovies and set the broth aside.
Step 3
Add the chopped kimchi and sliced onion to the anchovy broth. Bring it to a boil over high heat and let it simmer until the kimchi softens and the flavors meld.
Step 4
Once the kimchi is tender, add all the seasoning ingredients: gochugaru, fish sauce (or soy sauce for soup), regular soy sauce, and sugar. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with more fish sauce or salt.
Step 5
When the seasoning is well incorporated and the onions look translucent, carefully add the frozen assorted jeon to the pot. Be gentle to prevent them from breaking apart.
Step 6
Once the jeon start to cook, add the diagonally sliced green onion, Korean chili peppers, and red chili pepper. Let it simmer for a few more minutes until everything is heated through. The spicy aroma of the chilies and the fresh flavor of the green onion will infuse the stew. Serve hot and enjoy!
