Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Rather than boiling vigorously, simmering slowly is important; the longer it cooks, the deeper the flavor.
  • If your kimchi is under-fermented, adding plenty of onion helps balance the sourness with natural sweetness, creating a smoother umami.
  • Tabasco sauce is an excellent tip to artificially replicate the deep, funky flavor of aged kimchi like mukeunji or omogari kimchi without being overpowering.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a deep, rich umami different from the usual kimchi jjigae.
  • Those who want to make delicious jjigae even with fresh, unfermented kimchi.
