Kimchi Jjigae

We really enjoyed this one at our house. It had a very sour taste which is, I suspect, due to the kimchi we used. I'm looking forward to trying it again using a different kimchi for comparison.
I cooked this the same day I visited our asian supermarket. I found so many exciting ingredients there and of the fresh ones was water spinach. I fried this quickly with soy sauce but if you happen to have a water spinach recipe yourselves or coming soon I look forward to trying it.😄

Yayy so glad you enjoyed the recipe and your supermarket adventure, Phillipa! Excited to hear about the water spinach as well. We've added to our list of ideas for a future recipe 🤗

Absolutely superb!! I love how spicy this stew is. I am big mushroom fan, so I enjoyed the mushrooms/tofu/rice combo with a spoonful of the sauce.
This is a hidden gem!

Recette complexe par ses ingrédients difficiles à trouver. Les remplacements ne sont pas faciles. En prendre une autre si je veux cuisiner du Kimchi. De plus le déroulé de la recette n'est pas pratique. On ne découvre qu'à la fin qu'il fallait faire cuire du riz

Hey Marguerite, thanks for taking the time to try the recipe and share the review. I'm sorry to hear you found some of the ingredients hard to find. We tried to stay true to the authentic way of making this dish as much as possible. As for the rice, ours takes about 15 minutes to cook. We chose to cook this in the final steps while the tofu is also simmering for 15 minutes, as it means both components will (hopefully) be done cooking at the same time and deliciously warm. In any case, thanks for the feedback, and we hope you enjoy some of our other recipes more <3

Hot and spicy ! Perfect for winter days 🍜

Made a Korean dinner last nite and the vegan kimchee jjigae & oi muchim were my go-to picks. Turned out great!
🙂👍

Really good and great winter food! I mostly followed the recipe - I didn't put Kombu in as didn't have any, and I reduced the amount of kimchi a little as I didn't want it too spicy, air fried my Tofu and added Kale at the end. I don't think any of what I changed was necessary though - it was just doing it for my own taste. Came out perfectly and I'll be adding it into my regular rotation this winter. Very easy and quick to make too!

This app is amazing and exactly what I've been looking for. I'm on android, so I have been waiting for it, and it hasn't disappointed!

Hello,
Hot and spicy soups are perfect for cold days and this one is particularly filling and comforting.
There is a little mistake, you say to cook the rice twice at step 1 and 4.
Any way, it is a great recip, thank you!
