  • 설탕 1큰술
Method · 10 min
  1. 김치를 준비하고, 청양고추도 총총 썰어 준비해 줬어요.
  2. 냄비 김치를 담아 주고, 쌀뜬물 300ml를 전부 부어 주세요. (생수를 사용하지만 쌀뜬뜻물이 있어서 쌀뜬물에 사용해 줬습니다.)
  3. 여기에 청양고추, 설탕, 다진 마늘, 올리고당, 참치액 1큰술씩 넣고 중간불에서 국물이 졸아 들때까지 끓여 주세요. * 중간에 김치가 익지 않았는데 국물이 조라 들었다면 물을 추가로 넣고 조려주시면 되요.
  4. 국물이 다 졸아들고, 김치 익힘이 내 입맛에 딱 맞았을 때! 참기름 1스푼 차르륵 둘러서 섞어 주면 김치볶음 완성이예요.

Han Go-eun's Fried Kimchi Recipe: Simple Yet a Real Rice Thief

While watching Han Go-eun's YouTube channel, I heard she made stir-fried kimchi by simmering it only in water without using oil to enhance the flavor. I had a hunch that it couldn't possibly taste bad, so I immediately tried making it.

I had a strong feeling that it couldn't possibly taste bad, so I tasted it right away.

I prepared kimchi and finely chopped Cheongyang peppers.

Place the kimchi in a pot and pour in all 300ml of rice water. (Although bottled water is used, I used rice water because I had some on hand.)

(I use bottled water, but since I had rinsed rice water, I used that instead.)

If the kimchi isn't fully cooked yet and the broth has reduced, you can add more water and continue simmering.

When the broth has completely reduced and the kimchi is cooked to my liking, drizzle a spoonful of sesame oil over it and mix, and the stir-fried kimchi is complete.

Drizzle a spoonful of sesame oil over it and mix, and the stir-fried kimchi is complete.
