Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 2 cups kimchi, chopped
  • 2 cans (5 oz/140 g each) canned tuna, drained
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp gochugaru
  • 1 block (14 oz/400 g) tofu, cubed
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Let’s make it

  1. Bring kimchi, water, onion, garlic, and gochugaru to a boil in a pot.
  2. Simmer 10 minutes, then add tuna and tofu.
  3. Cook 5-7 minutes more until hot and the tofu is warmed through.
  4. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil, then serve with rice.

If serving kids, use less gochugaru and add extra tofu to soften the flavor.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
