Easy Kimchi Jjigae (김치 찌개 - Kimchi Stew) for Two

This dish was once considered peasant food because it was made from surplus ingredients during the war such as spam, hot dogs, and canned goods.But now people love eating this as a comfort food for its rich and savory broth! In fact, if you order it at a restaurant, it’ll probably be over $35 after tip and tax. Army Stew is definitely more worth it to make it at home!The ingredients listed below, you can adjust to your taste preference and honestly add anything you like!

A Korean celebrity said that the combination of kimchi and tuna is the best, and I've been putting it in ever since.The trick to this recipe is to add the canned tuna to the hot pot. It makes the hot pot super mild and tasty.To finish, soak up the broth with rice or udon noodles. Recipe by meguJJ

My slightly lighter take on Dwenjang Jjigae, which is a pungent Korean stew made with dwenjang (basically Korean style miso). (Note that stew in Korean cuisine isn't that super thick, stand a fork up in it type of texture, but something in between a soup and stew. My recipe is much closer to soup.)If you don't have dwenjang, you can totally use Japanese style miso. The flavor and aroma are less pungent, but the result will still be delicious.Just put the ingredients in a pot, bring 'em to a boil, and then let them simmer, and that's it.We usually enjoy this with a bowl of steamed rice.

A Kimchi Stew with a lot of ingredients that make it an easy week-long meal. (The ingredients are for 2 servings, but normally come in larger amounts that will last more days.)Inspiration from Hyosun at Korean Bapsang

With a rich, flavorful, spicyhot broth and the delicious complement of lots of light, healthful, and nutty tasting soft tofu, soondubu jjigae (pronounced SOONdooboo TCHIgeh), literally "soft tofu stew," is becoming an increasingly popular standalone Korean dish.As with most jjigae dishes, this stuff is usually served screaming hot in an earthenware pot with a raw egg served on the side to be cracked into the bubbling hot mixture and left for a few minutes to cook in that superhot residual heat before digging in.While it helps to have an earthenware pot if you happen to like your soups and stews almost unbearably temperature hot in true Korean fashion, you don't need one to make this dish. A small heavy duty stainless saucepan or enamel coated cast iron pot will do just fine.This recipe includes pork, but if you've ever had soondubu jjigae at a restaurant, you know that you can get beef, seafood and vegetarian versions as well. You can easily substitute the pork in this recipe for an equal amount of other protein. If you're doing a seafood version (smaller shrimp, clams, and pieces of squid or baby octopus work well), you might like to add your protein halfway into the cook time rather than at the beginning in order to avoid overcooking it.You can easily double the recipe to serve 4.

I had some kimchi in my fridge. I like stir-fried udon noodles with kimchi but this time I felt like preparing jjigae-style stewed noodles.Use the kimchi and its pickling brine too. It cooks through easily in residual heat in a clay pot so after covering with a lid, stop heating quickly. You can cook the egg to your liking but I like the eggs to be soft-set.

If you cut the tarako into small pieces and simmer, it will fall apart in the soup, so add it as is or cut in half and add to the pot.2. Please try not to stir so much you want to keep the tofu and tarako in tact. Recipe by Gutsugutsudesu

I wanted to make a spicy but tasty kimchi jjiage.The secret to its mildness is… stir-fried onion and Chinese cabbage. Using butter makes the soup very mild (⌒～⌒).Don't overcook the Chinese chives. Recipe by noeruchi

Sautéing the red chili pepper and kimchi creates a rich taste! The umami flavor from the fermented krill is exquisite as well!The ingredients may stick to the pot since no oil is used; but, you will add some water later on and then, they will all come out easily. Just remember to cook it over low heat and not to scorch it! Adjust the seasonings according to the amount and taste of kimchi. You could add other vegetables such as bean sprouts. Recipe by kebeibiko

I really love jjigae and I wanted to recreate an authentic one at home while still keeping it easy to make. It's healthy and I can make it soon after getting home from work so I eat it almost everyday. Have it with natto and it'll be 10 times as good!First fry the kimchi in sesame oil making sure not to burn it. Don't cut the tofu with a knife. Add in the bean sprouts last so that they stay crisp. If you want a denser stew, try adding natto. You'll really be surprised at how rich it will taste. If it gets too spicy, try adding an egg. Recipe by TomHiro

After the Korean War, there was a shortage of food in Korea and most of the food that was available were things like Spam and frankfurters provided by the Americans, and so they developed this fusion dish. It remains a popular hot pot dish in Korea even today. I first ran across this as an instant noodle flavour so I tried to make the real thing. I used pork broth as the main soup stock but it seems to be mostly done with chicken broth or myeolchi yuksu (Korean anchovy broth). 🇰🇷🥫🌭🍜🧀🌶️🍄🫕

My mother long ago worked for several years in Seoul and had introduced me to this tofu stew. It's a simple dish as far as that goes. The normal soup base is supposed to be what they call myeolchi dashima yuksu (멸치다시마육수), a kelp and anchovy broth. I have substituted Japanese kombu dashi with no trouble, even used katsuobushi dashi at times. Seafood of various types, such as clams and shrimp is usually mixed in, and I've even seen pork slices added. 🇰🇷🫕🍄🐚🦑

I wanted to enjoy the kimchi's flavor so I came up with this recipe.Similar hints to Steps 4-5 were written in a food lover's book, so I took that into consideration and wrote in my own adaptation here.Proper sauteing (Steps 4-5) is the magic to making it even more delicious!Before adding the kimchi to the pot, heating it in the frying pan releases extra flavor.It's even more delicious if you oysters, crab legs, or canned crab!I use a small enough pot for one person. After lowering the heat, wait just awhile and then enjoy it while it's hot. For 1 serving. Recipe by harapecoci

I fell in love with kimchi but always in doubt whether it's halal or not. Found a video by korean cook, maangachi. Her portion is quite big, so i had reduced the measurement coz i just do it for 1 cabbage only

Fermented food, such as kimchi, is known to promote healthy gut and aids in digestion especially for those who are on keto/low carb diet. Hence, this kimchi chicken recipe does just that and it is tasty and easy to make in the air fryer!

I made this because I had only a bite of kimchi left!Use piping hot water.This is a light soup that cleanses the palate. If you prefer a stronger flavor, add more kimchi.I typically place the mixture in bowls when setting the table, then pour in the hot water when we are ready to eat. Recipe by Team yokin

It is relatively easy.You may add any vegetables you want and the ingredients stated are optional.Only kimchi is essential :)

Generally speaking, cucumber kimchi does not hold up texturally as well as Napa cabbage kimchi, and you'll find that it begins to go soggy more quickly. Best to make a smaller batch (you can halve this recipe) if you don't think you can eat it within 2 to 3 weeks because there just aren't as many good uses for overripe cucumber kimchi as with the Napa cabbage kind.A common question:HOW RIPE DOES THE KIMCHI HAVE TO BE BEFORE I REFRIGERATE/EAT IT?You can eat the kimchi whenever you want. Fresh, just after it's been made, all the way up to when it's so incredibly old, ripe and stinky you could choke out a subway system by placing an open jar in one of the vents. It remains safe for human consumption for A VERY LONG TIME.But as to when to refrigerate, just go out once a day every day to taste a piece, and when it gets to the ripeness you like, stick it in the fridge. It'll continue to ripen, but slowly.P.S. Yes, you do see a few pieces of turnip in there. I think I had one or two that needed to be used up on the day I made this batch. ;)

I have Korean “ibuddy” and we share our cuisines. This is his family recipe and I’m happy that I could to cook and eat it together with my wife. It’s really good tastes with rice. Rice here is for balance of strong tastes of kimchi ✌🏼🔥 #kimchi #vegan

You can use just about any vegetable to make kimchi. These ingredients is what I chose.

I wanted to expand my kimchi recipe repertoire, so I made this using leftover ingredients.Using well-fermented sour kimchi is best.After turning off the heat, let it si so that daikon radish soaks up the flavor.Add chili peppers and garlic if you like. Recipe by Rami-1202

Mình cực kì thích kimchi, mình có thể ăn kèm kimchi trong mỗi bữa ăn luôn ấy. Kimchi mua ở ngoài lại rất đắt, chi phí để làm kimchi tại nhà cũng không quá đắt nên nếu chịu khó làm một buổi là có thể dùng gần cả tháng ấy. Mình làm kimchi cũng nhiều lần rồi nhưng đây là công thức mà mình hay dùng nhất!Thời gian ngâm cải thảo với nước muối mình tính cả vào thời gian nấu luôn nhé!Cả nhà chuẩn bị hộp to có nắp đậy kín để đựng kimchi nhé, để tránh kimchi quá chua, mỗi tuần mình mở hộp để lấy ra một phần để dùng. Tránh mở hộp thường xuyên.Tuỳ vào nhiệt độ mà kimchi sẽ lên men nhanh hay chậm nên mình có thể gia giảm lượng bột gạo sao cho phù hợp nhé mọi người. Nhiều bột gạo quá sẽ lên men rất nhanh!

Budae-jjigae (부대찌개; literally "army base stew") or spicy sausage stew is a type of jjigae (stew), made with ham, sausage, spam, baked beans, kimchi, and gochujang. The dish was created shortly after the armistice that ended the Korean War, using the scrounged or smuggled surplus foods from U.S. military bases. Although the dish was born in the period of post-war impoverishment, it continued to be popular during the period of rapid growth, and is still popular today.Wikipidia

A few years ago, Marukome Miso brand had a recipe on their package for "Korean-style kimchi soup"It was really tasty, and became our family's staple dish. I changed it little by little to suit our family's taste.It's spicy, so adjust the amount of the gochujang or kimchi. For people who want to make it more spicy, add Korean chili peppers. It's delicious. Recipe by Konfuri-

Hot pot is excellent for cold nights. Kimchi hot pot is my favorite dish, and I wanted to make it with ingredients in my fridge..I learned from a Korean friend that the point of kimchi hot pot is to stir fry the kimchi with sesame oil before adding the soup ingredients. Recipe by meg115

Kimchi is a Korean dish made from napa cabbage, chili flakes, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce. It’s spicy, tangy, and full of flavor, thanks to the fermentation process. Kimchi is usually served as a side dish but can also be added to other meals. It’s not only tasty but also good for your digestion because of the probiotics it contains. It’s a key part of Korean cuisine and a must-try for anyone who loves bold flavors! Enjoy!

I love kimchi, and ginger, and garlic too. I wanted to fully enjoy the flavor of kimchi, and got to this recipe.I referred partly to a comic magazine about delicious food to create this.By cooking the pork belly and vegetables together in a frying pan before adding them with the kimchi to the hot pot, the umami in them will be multiplied. Be sure to use pork belly!Use kuzu noodles that are made with real kuzu flour - they have a firmer texture.The top photo shows the hot pot before it's cooked. It looks red, but after cooking, it will turn a dark vermillion. Recipe by harapecoci

One of my favorite dishes from childhood.Serve it over or with steamed rice and finish if you'd like with a little drizzle of toasted sesame oil.As with any good stir fry, super high heat and small quantities cooked quickly produce the best results.
