Kimchi Jjigae Korean Kimchi Soup Recipes

KIMCHI JJIGAE (KIMCHI STEW)

Steps:

• Cut the kimchi into bite size pieces.
• Cut the meat into bite sizes. Slice the tofu (about 1/2-inch thick), and roughly chop the scallions.
• Heat a small to medium pot with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the kimchi, pork, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook over medium high heat until the kimchi is softened and the pork cooks through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the kimchi juice and about 2 to 2.5 cups of water (or broth). Bring it to a boil, and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium, and boil, covered, for about 15 minutes. You can add more water if necessary.
• Drop the tofu and scallions in. Salt (or soup or regular soy sauce) and pepper to taste. (Salt is usually not necessary, unless kimchi was lightly seasoned or kimchi juice is not available.) Boil until the tofu is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve while bubbling over from the heat.

KIMCHI JJIGAE (KOREAN KIMCHI SOUP)

Steps:

• Cut up vegetables, kimchi and tofu and set aside.
• Rinse meat, cut into thin strips 1-2" long.
• Marinate meat in rice wine with two pinches black pepper for 15 minutes (you can use your stew pot for this).
• Meanwhile, add vegetable oil to pan or wok and cook kimchi on medium-high until done (usually 5-7 minutes). Stir consistently. Kimchi will turn slightly translucent.
• In a separate bowl, combine soup base ingredients and mash together.
• Add vegetables, kimchi, soup base and water to the pot with the meat, leaving out the tofu. Use kimchi juice as part of the water if extracted.
• Bring to a boil; leave on a rolling boil until meat is cooked or about 5 minutes, being careful not to let water boil away.
• Taste soup for adjustments; add water as needed, or make extra soup base if needed.
• As soon as the meat is done, turn the heat down to low, add the tofu slices.
• Stir gently, serve with rice (your mouth will be hot -- I like to use rice that is room-temp!).

KIMCHI STEW (KIMCHI-JJIGAE)

Steps:

• Put the anchovies, daikon, green onion roots, and dried kelp in a sauce pan. Add the water and boil for 20 minutes over medium high heat. Lower the heat to low for another 5 minutes. Strain.
• Place the kimchi and kimchi brine in a shallow pot. Add pork and onion. Slice 2 green onions diagonally and add them to the pot.
• Add salt, sugar, hot pepper flakes, and hot pepper paste. Drizzle sesame oil over top and add the anchovy stock
• Cover and cook for 10 minutes over medium high heat.
• Open and mix in the seasonings with a spoon. Lay the tofu over top. Cover and cook another 10 to 15 minutes over medium heat.
• Chop 1 green onion and put it on the top of the stew. Remove from the heat and serve right away with rice.

THE CLASSIC, KIMCHI JJIGAE

Steps:

• Marinate the pork belly with the rice wine and the ground black pepper for about 15 mins.
• Cook the Kimchi in a skillet until soft. (You could do this in the pot where you will make this jjigae. Do this only if the pot is big enough to manoeuvre around.)
• Put the marinated meat into the bottom of the pot. Add all the other ingredients (kimchi, onion, mushrooms, tofu, water and the base sauce) except for green onion into the pot.
• Boil the pot on medium high heat initially then reduce the heat to medium once it starts boiling. Cook further until the meat is cooked. (It takes 10 to 15 mins from the beginning of step 4.) Make sure the sauce is well blended into the rest of the ingredients. (This can be done by gently mixing the sauce around the soup with a small teaspoon and splashing the soup over other ingredients every now then). When the meat is cooked, add the green onion and turn the heat off.
• Serve with rice (and other side dishes).

KIMCHI JJIGAE (KIMCHI SOUP)

Steps:

• Put pork belly in a bowl. Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and fish sauce. Toss well to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes.
• Set a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Melt butter, then add pork belly mixture and let it cook gently for 5 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to medium high and add kimchi, gochujang and gochugaru. Let mixture simmer for 2 minutes.
• Add kimchi juice and water (or broth, if using) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a brisk simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Taste broth and adjust seasoning.
• Just before serving, add tofu and stir gently to combine. When tofu is heated through, ladle into bowls and garnish with scallions.

KIMCHI JJIGAE (KOREAN KIMCHI STEW)

Steps:

• Cut up the pork into bite size pieces.
• Heat the two oils in pot and add the pork.
• Sautee the pork until done.
• Cut up the kimchi into 2 inch pieces.
• Add the kimchi and juice to the pot.
• Add enough water to cover the ingredients.
• Add the Dashida seasoning.
• Bring the stew to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low to medium (the stew should be simmering at this point).
• Simmer until the kimchi is cooked (it takes me about 20-40 minutes depending on the stove). The kimchi should be tender when done.
• Season with salt if needed. I normally don't, because the Dashida seasoning has salt in it.
• Serve with rice.

• Add the drained, chopped kimchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly darkened.
• Add the Korean chile flakes, sugar, salt, reserved kimchi juice, and anchovy and kelp broth and stir well to combine.
• Lay the tofu and mushrooms on top of the soup and gently stir to submerge in the broth (do not break up the tofu). Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and season the soup with more salt to taste.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the green onion and sesame oil. Serve with white rice, if desired.
• Enjoy!
