Jjigae

Jjigae are Korean stews. There are many varieties; they are typically made with meat, seafood or vegetables in a broth seasoned with gochujang (red chili paste), doenjang (soy bean paste), ganjang (soy sauce) or saeu-jeot (salted and fermented shrimp). Jjigae is often served as a communal dish. Korean meals often include either a jjigae or a guk. During the Joseon dynasty, it was known as jochi, and two varieties would always be present on the King's surasang (royal cuisine). The types of jjigae are often named according to their principal ingredients, such as saengseon jjigae made from fish or dubu jjigae. They are also sometimes named according to their broth and seasonings, for example gochujang jjigae (고추장찌개) or doenjang-jjigae (된장찌개).
