Advice

Use well fermented kimchi and cook it in the pot before adding liquid, that step is what makes the broth taste deep, not sharp. πŸ₯¬

Why it works πŸ’‘

Cooking kimchi with pork fat builds a rich base, then a gentle simmer extracts fermented tang and umami into the broth without turning it harsh. πŸ’‘

Twist 🌢️

Add 120 g mushrooms (2 cups / 4.2 oz) for extra umami, or swap pork for 250 g canned tuna, drained (9 oz) for the classic tuna kimchi jjigae version. 🌢️
