I’ve been using this same recipe for more than 5 times and I can tell you everybody i’ve cooked this for loves this! To the point where they’ll always ask me to cook this for them 😍 Thank you so much for the recipe, it’s so easy and delicious to cook and have on a lazy rainy day 👌🏻💯

I accidentally deleted the video and re-uploaded! I hope you enjoy my Kimchi Jjigae recipe. This is prefect for the Fall and Winter approaching. Thanks!

I bought this type of ceramic pot from Amazon, and I love it-and it’s non toxic! My favorite soup for cold weather is homemade chicken noodle.

[toradoraa]

for the cold ? this is my comfort food in all weather.. i live in a hot country and im always visiting the nearby Korean restaurant every 3rd day for Kimchi Jjigae :))

i watched this some time ago but i cameback to say thank you for this easy recipe!! this is my go to for rainy, stressful and sick days as its so easy to make but energizing
depending on what i have in the fridge, i often also like to add mushrooms or a tomatoe!

I want to dive into the screen and start eating it right now. Looks good.

Oh man! I lived in S. Korea (Ilsan) for nearly 4 years and Kimchi Jjigae is one of my favourite food now. I make it twice a month (I'd like to make it more often but buying Kimchi in Canada just isn't as cheap as it is in Korea). Absolutely DELICIOUS!! I always add zucchini whenever I make this one.

I’m Nigerian but I’m going to try this. I saw a tiktoker do it and I just had to search it up on YT. This would be the first Korean food I’d be eating ever.

I love it that you explain thoroughly. Thank you for sharing.

[qahirah]

I made Kimchi Jjigae after following your youtube video and I loved it thank you so much for uploading!

[henrikgustav]

Couldn’t believe how simple it is! I added chicken spam and mushrooms. So great with rice

[loritines]

just made it and it was so good!! Spicy, but not unbearably spicy and really warmed me inside out. I have a lot of gochujang left so Im totally gonna make it again soon. I really like flexible recipes like this one

[teresajaramillo]

I love beef vegetable soup and homemade chicken noodle soup! I’m not really a spicy girl! My mom and my daughter love spicy food. But I do wanna try some of the Korean foods. I really wanna try beef bulgogi and rose tteokbokki non spicy tho

[jezrrllpalencia]

Wow! So simple. I’ll try this. Thank you 😊

[xfoxglovable]

I tried this and this is by far the best recipe for kimchi stew! Thanks!

[zaidagibson]

I just purchased myself a pot and I am very excited to use it at this moment! Thank you for the recipe! I’m glade you suggest to substituted some things because I don’t have everything and didn’t feel like running to the store right now.

[craigb.franklin]

Thank you soooo much. Can't wait to make this. I have been following other Korean cooks but time for a change. I lived in Korea for 3 years and I use to always go to Korean restaurants when I got to the states because I missed the food. That got to be a little pricey. So I started making my own. I have made sooo many dishes. There isn't a dish I can't make as long as I have the video. Again, thank you.

[jeremywong]

Tried this and this is a bomb. Totally the same as what I had in korea. Thank you :)
