Oh Se-deuk's Pork Saeujeot Jjigae

A refreshing and deeply flavorful spicy stew made by simmering pork in a clean kelp broth without gochujang, seasoned solely with saeujeot for a clean, spicy kick.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Starting the meat in cold water rather than hot, from the broth-making stage, gently cooks it, resulting in a richer broth and tender meat texture.
  • Unlike a gochujang jjigae, this dish is characterized by a clear, uncloudy freshness. For seasoning, always use saeujeot as the main salt agent instead of salt or soup soy sauce to avoid a heavy, thick taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to create a deep, clean-tasting soup with minimal key ingredients, without the need for complex seasoning pastes.
  • Those looking for a hearty meal of spicy, refreshing soup over rice on rainy or cold days, or a clean accompaniment to soju.
