Tuna Kimchi Soup (Chamchi Kimchi Jjigae)

Prepare the following ingredients:
  • 2 cans of chunked light tuna (chamchi)
  • 1/2 cup of green onion, thinly sliced (pa)
  • 3 cups of cabbage kimchi (baechu kimchi)
  • 1 cup of kimchi broth (liquid from the jar)
  • 6-8 cups of water (mul)
  • sesame oil (chamgirum)
  • Korean red chili pepper powder (gochu garu)

Add sesame oil to a hot frying pan, lightly coating the bottom. Add a layer of kimchi to the pan, frying for 5 minutes to dry the cabbage out and infuse with sesame flavour.




Remove the kimchi and add to a large pot. Repeat until all of the kimchi has been fried and put in the pot.









Add the kimchi broth, drained tuna, green onions, and 4 cups of water into the pot. Heat to boiling and then simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add sesame oil, red pepper powder, and water to taste.

Enjoy with a side dish of steamed sticky rice!

Excellent post! Keep them coming.

I'm glad to see a post that includes cabbage, one of my favorite Cruciferous Vegetables :)
