    Try sliced up spam instead of pork sometime! It’s my fav for kimchi jjigae 🙂 fry up the bite size slices in your pot with a little oil just until browned. then saute your kimchi, sliced onion and garlic in the rendered spam fat + more oil as needed until the kimchi has that golden sauteed look. Then proceed with the rest of your jjigae. I like adding dduk (sliced rice cakes), enoki and 찌개용 두부 medium soft tofu. Seasoning with a little 쌀엿 rice syrup also goes a long way esp if your kimchi is very sour!

    Also i saw you like budae jjigae, this version of kimchi jjigae is halfway to bdjg anyway lol but i like using a little packet of gomtang soup base for the broth instead of plain water.

    Its my favorite stew for sure. Im not korean so never grew up with Doenjang-jjigae. I just cant do that one, it tastes as pungent as it smells.
