Now I know this probably sounds illegal but hear me out lol. Idk if this a genius idea or not, but some time ago I really wanted to make kimchi jjigae but I didn’t have any rice or tofu to go with it. So instead I made into a noodle dish using the thin wheat noodles that are used for bibimguksu… honestly it was pretty good.

Looks great!
The thing about Korean food is that any combo that works for you is a good combo. There are no absolutes for everyday foods.
Sometimes, I add frozen dumplings as a rice sub. Throwing in anything is better than waiting for rice to cook. I totally relate! Lol
You’re one of many who do this! Not saying this in a “hater” way, rather letting you know you’re in good company! Some other variations are japchae noodles (clear, sweet potato noodles) or a pack of ramen noodles. Its sooooo good
looks good! relatives from 경상 province do eat this kind of 찌개
I like to add glass noodles (mung bean noodles) to kimchi Jjigae.
I add shiritaki noodles for a low-carb/calorie option. Same with my soondooboo.
Looks great! I’m Korean but never thought of that😂
There is a cuisine called Kimchi Guksu (kimchi noodles, 김치국수)and Kimchi Kalguksu (kimchi cut noodles, 김치칼국수). Kimchi Guksu is exactly the same as your food.

This is a picture of Kimchi Kalguksu. Difference is the kind of Guksu (thin noodles and thick noodles).

Absolutely not weird. I do this all the time, when there isn’t enough gooksoo I just add water and ramen to it.
Not weird at all. Get jigae with it.
Sweet potato noodles in kimchi jjigae are really good too!
I make mine with sweet potatoe noodles 🍜
Sliced rice cakes are delicious in kimchi jjigae too!
Love it – a lot of Korean food is an about making do with what you have 🙂 add a fried egg on top and it will be perfect
