If you enjoyed the first Kimchi stew recipe I’ve posted, do check this one out as well. The second version is more hearty and robust, and therefore better suited for colder days we are facing. The warm spices really revive and keep the blood flowing, which was just what I needed after a miserable day of ending soaked up in rain on my way home from work.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 1.06 EUR per serving / 4.24 EUR for all)

2 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.03 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

4 carrots (0.40 EUR)

4 medium sized potatoes (0.27 EUR)

4 garlic cloves (0.13 EUR)

1 tsp Gochujang – Korean chili paste (0.07 EUR)

2 cups vegan Kimchi (0.93 EUR)

1 can of cooked chickpeas (0.80 EUR)

8 Shiitake mushrooms (0.53 EUR)

2 tbsp tomato paste (0.27 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.02 EUR)

1 bay leaf (0.01 EUR)

2 tbsp soy sauce (0.13 EUR)

3 tbsp chickpea flour (0.20 EUR)

4 cups veggie broth (0.27 EUR)

1 tsp toasted sesame oil (0.07 EUR)

METHOD:

Peel, wash and chop up all the veggies and mushrooms. Add oil, onion, carrot and potatoes to a pot on high heat. Saute for about five minutes to slightly caramelize then add in garlic and Gochujang. Stir and cook for just a minute before adding in Kimchi, chickpeas, mushrooms, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, bay leaf and soy sauce. Dissolve the chickpea flour in veggie broth, then pour the concoction into the pot. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and simmer with a lid cracked open for about half an hour, until the potatoes are thoroughly cooked through. Be sure to stir everything occasionally and, if needed, add in a splash more of water. Turn off heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil. Serve warm. The stew reheats great so it’s also an excellent meal prep option as well.

Ako vam se svidio raniji recept za Kimchi varivo koji sam objavila, definitivno isprobajte i ovaj. Ova nova verzija je definitivno zasitnija i robusnija, pa samim time i prikladnija za hladne dane sa kojima se suočavamo. Topli začini će vas stvarno napuniti energijom i razbuditi, što je meni definitivno trebalo nakon što me oprala kiša pa sam sva mokra i promrzla došla doma s posla.

2 šalice veganskog Kimchija (7,00 kn)

1 konzerva slanutka (6,00 kn)

8 gljiva shiitaka (4,00 kn)

2 žlice koncentrata od rajčice (2,00 kn)

4 šalice povrtnog temeljca (2,00 kn)

1 žličica tostiranog sezamovog ulja (0,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Operite, ogulite i nasjeckajte svo povrće i gljive. Ulje, luk, mrkvu i krumpire ubacite u lonac na jakoj vatri. Dinstajte oko pet minuta da se sve blago karamelizira, pa dodajte češnjak i Gochujang. Promiješajte i kuhajte minutu prije nego dodate i Kimchi, slanutak, gljive, koncentrat rajčice, sol, papar, lovor i soja sos. Brašno od slanutka otopite u temeljcu, pa tu smjesu ulijte u lonac. Pustite da zavrije, smanjite vatru i krčkajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem jedno pola sata, dok krumpiri ne omekšaju. S vremena na vrijeme sve dobro promiješajte, a po potrebi podlijte sa još malo vode. Maknite s vatre i umiješajte sezamovo ulje. Poslužite toplo. Ovo se varivo super podgrijava, pa je odlična opcija za pripremiti unaprijed i ponijeti na posao.
