Step 1
Start by combining the water, kimchi, the reserved kimchi juice, Spam, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large pot. Place it over medium-high heat and bring everything to a boil. Once it starts boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the kimchi cabbage turns soft and a bit translucent. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This stew is packed with bold and tangy flavors that warm you up from the inside out. The combination of spicy kimchi, tender meat, and rich broth creates a comforting dish that is both hearty and satisfying. It’s a perfect way to enjoy traditional Korean flavors in a simple meal.
How to serve
Serve the stew hot with a bowl of steamed white rice to balance the spice. Adding a side of pickled vegetables or a fresh green salad can provide a nice contrast. You can also enjoy it with a soft boiled egg on top for extra richness.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors will develop even more overnight. Reheat gently on the stove to keep the stew from becoming too salty or thick. For longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw before reheating.
