kimchi jjigae with sardines is how i grew up eating kimchi stew. i absolutely hated it as a kid, but look at me now. the joke’s definitely on me. ingredients: *2 cups mature kimchi with brine *1 tbsp sesame oil *1 cup water or bone broth *1 tbsp minced garlic *1 tbsp butter *1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste) - optional *1 tin of sardines (don’t add the oil) *firm tofu *enoki mushroom *green onions instructions: *In a medium-sized pot or earthenware on medium-high heat, stir fry the kimchi and sesame oil until the kimchi is softened. *Once the kimchi is softened, add minced garlic, butter, gochujang, and bone broth (or water). *Cover the pot, lower heat to medium-low, and let simmer for 15 minutes. *Add in sardines (no oil), firm tofu, green onions, and enoki mushrooms. *Cover the pot again and let cook for 5-10 minutes. *Serve immediately with hot rice.
