Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. In a pot, combine the chopped ripe kimchi, kimchi brine, sliced onion, sugar, gochugaru, and the drained canned tuna. Adding all ingredients at once helps develop a deeper flavor.
Step 2
2. Pour in 4 cups of water, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Bring to a boil over high heat. Starting with high heat allows the flavors to meld quickly.
Step 3
3. Once the stew begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the kimchi and onion to soften and the flavors to meld. You can leave the lid slightly ajar.
Step 4
4. After 10 minutes, add the remaining 1 cup of water to adjust the broth’s consistency, and continue to simmer over medium heat for another 10 minutes. Adjust the liquid to your desired thickness.
Step 5
5. After simmering for a total of about 20 minutes, season with guk-ganjang to taste. Add the diagonally sliced scallions and minced garlic. Simmer for just 5 more minutes over medium-high heat for a perfectly harmonized and delicious canned tuna kimchi stew.
