Kimchi Jjigae

김치찌개
kimchi-jjigae

A communal stew made with well-fermented kimchi and pork simmered in a rich broth, seasoned to perfection, salty and spicy. Unlike soup, it is served bubbling in a stone pot and enjoyed by ladling the broth and ingredients over rice, shared among many. The fermented sourness of the kimchi combines with the pork fat to create a deep flavor that complements the rice.
