Tuna Kimchi Jjigae

Tuna Kimchi Jjigae for one. Savoury, delicious, warm and comforting. The perfect accompaniment to rice and serves well for dinner or lunch.

The tuna combined with the spicy kimchi broth and onions makes this dish one that you need to try if you love Korean food as much as I do. It’s so good served with steamed rice and more kimchi!

I love Korean Stew so much. It’s the quickest way to warm up my body especially on a cold snowy day in May. Yes, you heard me right – a cold snowy day in the month of Springtime. But I don’t blame Mother Nature. This is all thanks to climate change which we are responsible for. At least I got to shoot this recipe with some cool lighting after 12 noon!

This recipe was adapted from Seonkyounglongest.com. She is one of the second queens of Korean cuisine aside from Maangchi. I love her recipes so much and she’s one you need to check out. She also has a great YouTube Channel.

I removed a couple ingredients to make this more accessible and changed the ingredient measurements.
