Easy and Authentic Kimchi Jjigae in Just 10 Minutes!
- 1 Sesame oil
- 4 tbsp Kimchi
- 1 block Tofu (silken)
- 1 bunch Bean sprouts
- 1 Eggs
- 1 or 2 teaspoons Shredded garlic
- 1 heaping tablespoon Doenjang (Korean miso) or if not available, Japanese miso.
- 1 heaping tablespoon Gochujang
- 1 (to taste), optional Red chile pepper powder
- 1 tsp Dashida
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- Add sesame oil to a hot earthenware bowl and fry the kimchi and garlic.
- Be careful not to burn it!
- Add hot water after you're able to smell the sesame oil and kimchi cooking.
- Add the tofu.
- Breaking up into smaller pieces by squeezing it with your hand will give it a better flavor.
- Add a heaping tablespoon of Korean miso (or Japanese miso) and gochujang one at a time and then any extra seasonings ().
- Boil gently and sample to check the flavor.
- Proceed to the next step if it's ok. Add Korean red hot pepper to make spicier, or some raw egg to make it milder.
- Finally, add bean sprouts and quickly bring to a boil.
- Bon Appetit!
- It goes great with beer.
- Here's what I made on November 9, 2010: using pork, king oyster mushroom, scallions, tofu, egg, and natto (fermented soy beans).
- The strong sour taste of the kimchi matches well with the earthenware bowls.
- I highly recommend using proper Korean-style kimchi as opposed to other kinds.
- Here's what I made on Feb 23, 2011: with tofu, bean sprouts, kimchi, pork, and egg.
- I slipped in a little Korean red hot pepper at the end as well.
- This time I added natto to the recipe.
- Natto jjigae is really good!
