Kimchi jjigae is a popular Korean stew made primarily with kimchi, tofu, and various meats, often pork or beef. 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 hot and is a staple in many Korean households. The stew is usually cooked in a stone pot, allowing it to retain heat and enhance the flavors. Kimchi jjigae is often enjoyed with a bowl of rice and can be customized with additional ingredients such as vegetables or seafood, making it a versatile and comforting meal.
