Lee Hye-jung's Chicken Kimchi Jjigae

A refreshing chicken kimchi jjigae that reduces sodium by using chicken thigh instead of pork, along with napa cabbage and soaked seaweed

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use chicken thigh, which is chewier and has just the right amount of fat compared to chicken breast, to make the stew broth rich and savory.
  • The potassium in the seaweed and the moisture from the napa cabbage heart help neutralize the sodium in the kimchi jjigae, resulting in a clean taste.
  • Garlic chives become tough if boiled too long, so add them at the very end and let them cook in the residual heat after turning off the stove.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a different, clean-tasting broth instead of the usual pork kimchi jjigae.
  • Those looking for a healthy, non-salty, and light jjigae recipe.
  • Those who want to make a hearty, deeply savory meal using chicken thigh.
