- Mix all seasoning paste ingredients to make the kimchi jjigae all-purpose seasoning paste.
- Combine chopped kimchi, pork, 500ml water, and 150g seasoning paste in a pot.
- Chop the onion and green onion and place them on top of the stew.
- Start timing from when the stew begins to boil and cook for exactly 7 minutes to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Use fresh kimchi with a sharp tangy flavor rather than overly fermented, heavy kimchi to ensure the broth remains clear and refreshing.
- Use a thin-bottomed pot with excellent heat conductivity so the seasoning penetrates quickly into both meat and kimchi, enhancing the overall flavor in a short time.
- Serve over a bowl of steamed rice, generously ladling in the thick kimchi jjigae broth and meat, then mix in a sprinkle of kimchi powder and sesame oil for a perfectly balanced bite.
