Cooking tips

  • The key to kimchi jjigae is balancing the acidity of the kimchi. Remember the tip of using sugar for sour kimchi and vinegar for unripe kimchi.
  • Stir-frying the kimchi in lard as a base fills the entire broth with a heavy, savory richness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a deep, rich, restaurant- or specialty shop-style kimchi jjigae at home.
  • Those who want to deliciously use up leftover sour kimchi that is hard to deal with.
