    My absolute favorite Korean soup/stew... I had a ritual when I lived in Gapyeong, some evenings after work I would take a bus to the nearby indoor swimming pool and swim laps, tire out my body, then shower and go to the nearby food court afterwards, where the cooks there made a phenomenal super spicy kimchi jjigae... it was so satisfying after a swim. I miss that. This recipe does look pretty easy! I will have to try it 🌶

    You can definitely make a vegetarian option, just make sure that your Kimchi is vegetarian (it can contain beef broth, fish sauce, and shrimp). I like to just use tofu for the protein, and add potato and vegetables like zucchini, winter squash, carrots, mushrooms, and spinach instead of the meat.

    I have a kimchi question for anyone in the know- I’ve heard that you need to use old kimchi, the more fermented the better, but I never know how long to leave the jar in the fridge until it’s ready to use… Is old a month or two, 6 months long enough to use to make kimchi jigsaw? What’s the right time frame here? Many thanks in advance 😊

    Usually it's more than 3~4 months, and if it turns too sour, you can and some sugar to balance it out. If you're new to kimchi, i recommend you use 3 months old kimchi, and if you know what it tastes like, try fermenting it longer.☺

Pescatarians eat everything vegetarians eat, plus seafood, but no meat. Your friend is mistaken. That said, some people are flexible and don’t adhere to one diet all the time, but then they’re not vegetarian anymore.
