김치찌개Kimchi-jjigae
Bubbling stew of sour aged kimchi, pork and tofu. The taste of a Korean home.
What it is
Well-fermented kimchi is simmered with fatty pork, tofu and scallion until the broth turns deep red and tangy. Some versions use tuna or Spam instead of pork.
How to eat it
Spoon it over rice; Koreans rarely eat jjigae on its own.
