Tuesday’s Cupful: Hot Kimchi Dishes

A welcome temperature change
There’s more than just cold pickled veggies when it comes to kimchi as a seasoning component or main ingredient. The Mixed Stew has enjoyed kimchi jigae (Korean kimchi and pork stew), which combines pieces of braised pork, tofu, veggies, and kimchi base, in a yummy broth. Korean restaurants serve kimchi jigae in traditional clay pots. The spicy stew arrives sizzling (or rather, bubbling) hot. Another dish that incorporates kimchi is kimchi bokkumbap. It’s a kimchi seasoned pork fried rice that topped with fried egg. At one local Korean supermarket, customers may purchase chicken parts marinated in kimchi base and ready for grilling. Have you tried any hot dishes that use kimchi?
