Kimchi jjigae

Amanda Logan

Tofu, kimchi, bok choi and shiitake mushrooms co-star in this flavoursome and nutritious Korean jjigae stew, spiced with fresh ginger and gochujang chilli paste. Perfect served with steaming bowls of wholegrain rice, or noodles if you like.

Ingredients

Serves: 3–4

Method

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the white spring onions and cook for 3 minutes, or until soft. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds before adding the kimchi.
  2. Continue cooking, stirring, for a minute and then add the gochujang paste. Stir in well. 
  3. Add the tofu, mushrooms, soy sauce and the stock, then bring the mixture up to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. 
  4. Add the sliced bok choy and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve with a sprinkling of sliced spring onion greens.
