Dish type
Korean stews (jjigae)
Thick, strongly seasoned stews served bubbling hot in a small pot. Eaten with rice and often shared. Kimchi stew and soybean paste stew are everyday lunch dishes, usually served as one portion with rice and side dishes. Sausage stew is cooked at the table in a wide pan and ordered for two or more, with ramyeon noodles added near the end. Spoon the stew into your own bowl or over your rice rather than eating straight from the pot, and take care: an earthenware pot stays very hot.
