In reply to Sim. hmm I don't think I understand the question, but water from rinsing the rice is called ssalddeumul.

Dear Ms Hyosun, if these days no-rinse rice are being used, does it still work as ssalddeumul, 쌀뜨물?
Thank you!!

I normally don’t comment but bacon is salted pork. Kimchi is fermented salted cabbage.

You’ll need the sugar to counteract the salt.

But bacon, sugar and egg? You had kimchi stew alright. Please try it as per recipe to taste the difference. There are or is fusion Korean cooking but I come onto this site to get some proper flavours. Just letting you know it tastes better cooked as per the recipe.

I love kimchi jjigae, I’m such a sucker for sweet flavours though, so I always add some sugar. I also love to crack an egg into it during the final stages of cooking, the yolk makes it so creamy and savoury. Thank you for this delicious recipe!

Delicious! I used 4 oz. lean bacon, cut up and omitted the oil in a non-stick pan. So easy and so tasty! It was actually 3 servings when I added a bit more tofu and maybe a little more broth. Dare I say, it was rather low calorie! Thanks for a great simple recipe.

Wow. I’ve heard people rave about kimchi jjigae and didn’t understand the hype until now. This soup is just chef’s kiss. It’s so flavorful, so delicious and would definitely make again. I wanted a quick dinner recipe and had some leftover kimchi so I gave it a try. No regrets, so good! Thank you for my new obsession Hyosun!! Much love!

I just used an older jar of spicy kimchi that didn’t taste that good anymore, put water and chicken bullion powder and it was great, still spicy and very tasty.
