Watched "House on Wheels" and learnt a lot of Korean dishes which I have never eaten before. One of them is Kimchi Jjigae. Re-watched that particular episode a few times to copy the ingredients and steps.
1) Sauté minced garlic
2) Add thinly sliced pork belly and stir fry till half cooked
3) Add bite-size kimchi
4) Add enough water to cover
5) Add soy bean paste, oil, Korean chili powder and sugar (optional)
6) Cut green chili and scallion to 1" length and add in to boil
7) Cut firm tofu to 1" cube and add in to boil till cooked
8) Serve hot with rice
Of course, this means that it will not be very accurate and given that I have not eaten the dish before, I do not know exactly how it should taste like. Therefore, I googled for a proper recipe online and found one by "My Korean Kitchen". Modified the recipe I copied from the tv program with the recipe I found online and created this.
1) Sauté minced garlic
2) Add thinly sliced pork belly and stir fry till half cooked
3) Add bite-size kimchi
4) Add enough water to cover
5) Add 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp Korean chili paste and some sugar
6) Cut firm tofu to 1" cube and add in to boil till cooked
7) Cut spring onion to 1" length and add in to boil
8) Serve hot with rice
The recipe from My Korean Kitchen asked for Korean chili flakes but I do not have it so replaced with chili powder instead. The recipe from the tv program used scallion which I also do not have so replaced with spring onion instead.
Taste-wise, really cannot comment since I do not know how the actual dish should taste like. Haha... Perhaps I should try to eat this dish in a restaurant one day and I will know the answer.
