Easy and Authentic Kimchi Jjigae in Just 10 Minutes!
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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add sesame oil to a hot earthenware bowl and fry the kimchi and garlic. Be careful not to burn it!
- 2
Add hot water after you're able to smell the sesame oil and kimchi cooking.
- 3
Add the tofu. Breaking up into smaller pieces by squeezing it with your hand will give it a better flavor.
- 4
Add a heaping tablespoon of Korean miso (or Japanese miso) and gochujang one at a time and then any extra seasonings (☆).
- 5
Boil gently and sample to check the flavor. Proceed to the next step if it's ok. Add Korean red hot pepper to make spicier, or some raw egg to make it milder.
- 6
Finally, add bean sprouts and quickly bring to a boil.

Bon Appetit!

The strong sour taste of the kimchi matches well with the earthenware bowls. I highly recommend using proper Korean-style kimchi as opposed to other kinds.

Easy Kimchi Jjigae (김치 찌개 - Kimchi Stew) for Two Easy Kimchi Jjigae (김치 찌개 - Kimchi Stew) for Two
To make kimchi jjigae (TCHEEgeh), you really should use ripe (as in sour) kimchi. You could make it with the fresh stuff, but that's not what this dish was invented for, which was to get rid of the kimchi that's been fermenting just a little too long when you've got huge earthenware jars full of fresher stuff still waiting to be eaten.And because it's jjigae or stew, you don't want it to be all that soupy. Jjigae is meant to be thin enough to give you the occasional spoonful of intensely flavored and piping hot broth to eat with your rice, but not so soupy that you could drink it.This recipe is easily doubled if you'd like more servings. Just need a bigger pot. ;)

Kimchi Jjigae Stewed Udon Kimchi Jjigae Stewed Udon
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.

Great for kimchi hot pots! Recipe by takaya. (This recipe uses 2 heads of Chinese cabbage.) -
