I am cooking for my grandparents during winter and I made my own vegetarian (my grandparents are vegetarian for health reasons) version a week ago, soo good! I will definitely try to improve my version to the max! :)

vegetarian options!
- gochujang
- vegan kimchi
- vegetarian oyster sauce (mushroom)
- silken tofu
- mushrooms
- vegetable stock
- I like to add rice vinegar or soy sauce for a more “fishy” flavour

My absolute favorite Korean soup/stew... I had a ritual when I lived in Gapyeong, some evenings after work I would take a bus to the nearby indoor swimming pool and swim laps, tire out my body, then shower and go to the nearby food court afterwards, where the cooks there made a phenomenal super spicy kimchi jjigae... it was so satisfying after a swim. I miss that. This recipe does look pretty easy! I will have to try it 🌶

I just made some for the first time with tuna and at first I was worried (the frying process did not smell good lol) but it’s so delicious and addicting. Thanks for the recipe!

[jryanbrown]

This turned out good and really hit the spot!!! I didn’t have tofu so I added lots of Zucchini. I’ll definitely be making this again! Thank you!

[karmin]

this is my favorite korean stew! I've actually been making it a lot this past month, so delicious <3

[crypticlolita]

You're right, this recipe absolutely tastes better the next day! Thank you for the easy to follow and delicious recipe. One modification I made is adding the onions together with the anchovy broth, I like them softer and I think it infuses the flavour into the soup better. Cheers 🥂❤️

I made this today and it came out bland even when I followed every step. I added chicken bouillon and for some reason it brought out all the flavor. So good!

[seoahkim]

I was waiting for it ahh, can you use chicken or beef instead of pork cuz i cant eat it, love your videos ❤️

[CarolinaJoubert]

This one recently popped in my feed. And I tried it. It was great thanks!

I love that it's a smaller portion. It's a great way to try if you like something. And also if you are the sole person willing to try a new food in your household.

This is one of the first real foods I ate after weeks of liquids and purees and it was so incredibly delicious!

[christineball]

The more fermented the kimchi cooked is the better the flavour is !

[jimmyhedrick]

Just made some 😊 Perfect for this rainy/windy day. I put tomatoes, natto, and bell peppers in mine.

[MouseRata]

I’m not Korean, but this soup is my comfort food.❤️

Thanks for making this into a longer video. I hate watching shorts because the quality of the video is compromised and the short videos come out blurry.

[PutYoRhymeOn]

Literally eating Kimchi Jjigae as I'm watching this lol. Your voice is so soothing ❤

[mahamfazal]

Watching you cook and listening to you calms my nerves at the end of a long tiring day.
Love your channel ❤️
