Cod And Kimchi Stew Recipes

THE CLASSIC, KIMCHI JJIGAE

Steps:

• Marinate the pork belly with the rice wine and the ground black pepper for about 15 mins.
• Cook the Kimchi in a skillet until soft. (You could do this in the pot where you will make this jjigae. Do this only if the pot is big enough to manoeuvre around.)
• Put the marinated meat into the bottom of the pot. Add all the other ingredients (kimchi, onion, mushrooms, tofu, water and the base sauce) except for green onion into the pot.
• Boil the pot on medium high heat initially then reduce the heat to medium once it starts boiling. Cook further until the meat is cooked. (It takes 10 to 15 mins from the beginning of step 4.) Make sure the sauce is well blended into the rest of the ingredients. (This can be done by gently mixing the sauce around the soup with a small teaspoon and splashing the soup over other ingredients every now then). When the meat is cooked, add the green onion and turn the heat off.
• Serve with rice (and other side dishes).

COD AND KIMCHI STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add shallots, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Stir in gochujang and cook until fragrant and brick red, 1 minute. Stir in kimchi, scraping up any gochujang from the bottom of the pan, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Add soy sauce and 5 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until kimchi is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in fish, cover, remove from heat and let sit until cooked through, about 5 minutes. (The residual heat from the stew will gently cook the fish.)
• Divide stew among bowls and top with scallions and sesame seeds.

KIMCHI STEW (KIMCHI-JJIGAE)

Steps:

• Put the anchovies, daikon, green onion roots, and dried kelp in a sauce pan. Add the water and boil for 20 minutes over medium high heat. Lower the heat to low for another 5 minutes. Strain.
• Place the kimchi and kimchi brine in a shallow pot. Add pork and onion. Slice 2 green onions diagonally and add them to the pot.
• Add salt, sugar, hot pepper flakes, and hot pepper paste. Drizzle sesame oil over top and add the anchovy stock
• Cover and cook for 10 minutes over medium high heat.
• Open and mix in the seasonings with a spoon. Lay the tofu over top. Cover and cook another 10 to 15 minutes over medium heat.
• Chop 1 green onion and put it on the top of the stew. Remove from the heat and serve right away with rice.

KIMCHI SOONDUBU JJIGAE

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, combine kelp and 6 cups of water, and bring to a simmer over high. Cover, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Discard or reserve kelp for another use. Transfer broth to a large bowl and reserve.
• In the empty Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, 3 minutes. Add scallions, garlic, gochugaru and remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and cook, stirring, until well combined and very fragrant, 1 minute. Add kimchi and cook, stirring, until the bottom of pot looks dry, about 2 minutes. Add reserved kelp broth, kimchi juice, soy sauce and zucchini, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until zucchini and kimchi are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in tofu and cook until warmed through, 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• If using eggs, crack them into the pot, leaving some space in between each egg. Cover and poach over medium-low until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
• Divide jjigae between 4 bowls and garnish each with scallions. Serve hot with rice on the side.
