Cooking 6: Homemade heart-warming & soothing Korean Kimchi Stew
Hello Steemians~
It's been a while since the last cooking series, today I have decided to share with you guys my recent obsession with Kimchi. Just in case you have no idea what is Kimchi, I'll briefly guide you through what are they.
Kimchi is literally translated from Korea "김치". Kimchi is a staple in Korean cuisine where every house, every restaurant you go, you'll be served with Kimchi without any doubt. It is the best thing on earth!! It is a traditional side dish made from salted and fermented vegetables like "Napa Cabbage" and "Korean Radishes". With essential seasonings including chillies powder, scallions, garlic, ginger, rice starch, Korean pears and sometimes with salted tiny shrimps for extra flavour.
My fridge is always packed with Kimchi as me and my boyfriend just love the flavour and also the convenience of it. Kimchi makes snacking a better option with way lesser calories and fats.
Since it has been raining all the time over here, a bowl of warm and spicy soup is all we need to keep up awake and ready for the day!
Ingredients:
Servings: 2-3 pax
- 150 grams Kimchi
- 100 grams chicken slices
- 100 grams of shrimps/squids
- 1 yellow onions or red onions
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 carrots
- 2 stalks of celery (optional)
- 1 packet of soft/firm tofu
- 1 packet of Enoki Mushroom (optional)
- 1 packet of meatballs (optional)
Broth
- 1 litre anchovies broth
- dash of soy sauce
- dash of fish sauce
- sesame oil
Steps by step tutorial:
1.As always, diced up all the ingredients into bite size so everything cooked at the same time.
2.Bring water and stock to boil. Add in carrots, onions, garlic, celery and it simmers for 5 minutes.
3.Then add the subsequent ingredients like kimchi, meatballs, tofu, chicken and shrimps into the pot to let it continue simmers for another 5-10 minutes.
4.Season it with fish sauce & soy sauce with a pinch of sugar.
5.Before serving, add Enoki Mushrooms and continue boiling for 1-2 minutes. Served hot with a few drops of sesame oil.
*Optional: If you wanted it to be heavier or creamier, crack an egg together with enoki mushrooms, boil for 1-2 minutes, you'll have a perfectly runny egg yolk with the steamy hot soup.
Whalaaaa~~ you're done!
Steamy hot, spicy and soothing pot of goodness is served! :)
I hope you guys will enjoy it and let me know how it goes if by chance you're trying it out!
*Disclaimer: Recipe is based on my own liking & preferences. Might be slightly different from the traditional korean style. It's no absolute right or wrong. It's all depending on your likings.

This looks so delish 💓
Thank you so much :DDD
That looks so good. I love kimchi (especially kimchi pancakes), although I have always been nervous to try kimchi soup. I think I am afraid it will be too overpowering! I will have to give this a try though.
Don't worry, when it is made to soup, the kimchi taste is way milder also, it's not spicy at all :)
OMG this looks SO DELICIOUS! :-)
Upvoted and Followed!
Thanks for sharing and have a happy day and night! :-)
