A popular stew that is usually made with meat, seafood or vegetables in a spicy broth made with gochujang, soybean paste, fermented miso, or salted fermented shrimp. Generally served as a palate cleanser, jjigae is very much reminiscent of a Western meat stew minus a fragrant array of spices and chilli.
PS: If you happen to visit Seoul, be sure to try budae jjigae, which comes complete with spam, bacon, sausages, as well as ramyeon noodles along with a generous serving of rice cakes mixed with other traditional jjigae ingredients.
