Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Thoroughly stir-fry the pork fat in cooking oil to extract the lard before stir-frying the kimchi; this imparts a rich, deep flavor to the stew broth.
  • Instead of adding all the water at once, simmer first with a small amount of water to reduce the liquid; this mellows the kimchi's acidity and tenderizes the meat much faster.
  • Adding a little minced ginger perfectly eliminates any pork odor and creates a spicy yet clean broth flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who struggle with kimchi jjigae that tastes watery or lacks depth every time they make it.
  • Those who want a home-cooked meal that combines the richness of pork fat with a spicy, clean broth flavor.
