Kimchi Jjigae
Kimchi Jjigae is a popular Korean stew made primarily with kimchi, tofu, and various meats, often pork or tuna. It is known for its spicy and savory flavor, which comes from the fermented kimchi and seasonings like gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) and garlic. This dish is typically served bubbling hot in a stone pot and is enjoyed with a bowl of rice.
The stew is a staple in Korean households and is often made with leftover kimchi, making it a practical and comforting meal. Kimchi Jjigae is not only delicious but also nutritious, as it contains probiotics from the fermented kimchi and protein from the tofu and meat.
