김치찌개 (Kimchi Jjigae)

Kimchi Jjigae is a popular Korean stew made with kimchi (fermented cabbage), tofu, and pork (usually pork belly or shoulder). The kimchi adds a tangy, sour flavor to the broth, which is simmered with garlic, onions, and sometimes vegetables. This hearty dish is often served with steamed rice and banchan (side dishes). Kimchi Jjigae is a comforting, everyday meal in Korean homes, typically made with aged, well-fermented kimchi.
