Ingredients needed 1 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the kimchi is too sour, balance the sourness with sugar; if the kimchi is under-fermented, reduce the sugar accordingly.
  • Since earthenware pots retain heat well, simmer gently over medium-low heat even after reducing the flame to deepen the squid broth significantly.

Recommended for

  • Single-person households or those living alone who want an easy yet refreshing jjigae.
  • Those who prefer a clean, refreshing seafood broth over meat-based kimchi jjigae.
