KIMCHI JJIGAE (KOREAN KIMCHI SOUP)

{Don't be afraid of the steps/ingredients! It's really quite easy.} A delectable, SPICY traditional soup full of kimchi, tofu, veggies, and pork (but can be made vegetarian). My absolute favorite Korean dish of all time; I can eat it 24/7! Kimchi is available at Asian markets; I recommend buying the homemade variety wherever possible. If you buy a shelf-bottled kimchi (non-refrigerated), or your fresh kimchi has just been made (i.e. newer than 2-3 weeks), you should add a couple of teaspoons of white vinegar to your kimchi, stir and let it sit 10 mins, and then chop it up for use. The vinegar acts as an instant fermenter and will make it taste a LOT better. Don't skip this step, trust me :) Also, the chili flakes and paste should be the true Korean variety; the Chinese, Thai or regular cayenne pepper will not work. Please let me know if you have suggestions or questions! I have adjusted this recipe over time-Koreans don't use recipes (frustrating!)-to suit my taste. DH loves it too. Beware though, it's truly Korean in that it's very spicy for most. For more detailed step-by-step instructions, including pictures, please mail me and I can send them to you.

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!).

1/8 lb pork loin (omit for vegetarian)
1 tablespoon rice wine
3 pinches black pepper
1 cup sour kimchee (cut into 1x1, reserve juice)
1/4 white onion, cut into slices
1 green onion, sliced
1/4 cup mushroom (regular or shiitake)
3 tablespoons sliced anaheim green chili peppers
1 cup tofu (extra firm, cut into 1/4-inch slices)
1 1/2 cups water
vegetable oil, to coat small pan
4 teaspoons korean chili flakes (gochugaru)
2 teaspoons korean chili paste (gochujang)
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (fresh or bottled, just not dried)
4 pinches black pepper

KIMCHI JJIGAE (KIMCHI SOUP)

In Korean cuisine, kimchi is not only a condiment or pickle; it is also used as an ingredient in many cooked dishes. Kimchi soup, called jjigae, is a satisfying example. The fermented kimchi vegetables quickly provide deep flavor to the broth, so the soup can be produced in little more than half an hour. Aged kimchi, which is more intensely sour, is the preferred type to use. Surprisingly mellow, the soup is neither too spicy nor too salty. This version incorporates butter, an addition inspired by a recipe from Lauryn Chun, the founder of Mother-in-Law's Kimchi and the author of "The Kimchi Cookbook."

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.

  • 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.
