Cooking tips

  • Use sour kimchi with a sharp tang rather than overly aged, heavy kimchi to keep the broth from becoming murky and to achieve a refreshing reduction.
  • Using a thin aluminum pot with very fast heat conduction, rather than a thick pot, allows the seasoning to penetrate the meat and kimchi quickly, resulting in much better flavor.
  • We recommend serving it over a generous bowl of rice with plenty of the reduced kimchi jjigae broth and meat, then adding some crushed seaweed and sesame oil to mix together.

Recommended for

  • Those who have always failed at making kimchi jjigae because it turned out bland or lacked depth of flavor.
  • Those who enjoy mixing rice with meat and kimchi in a reduced, spicy-sweet broth.
