Nice, but my lips are still burning! - Jerry
Kimchi jjigae is often cooked in Korean homes using older, more fermented and "ripe" kimchi, creating a much stronger taste and containing higher amounts of "good" bacteria also found in yogurt. The stew is said to be more flavourful if prepared with older kimchi, while fresh kimchi may not bring out a full and rich flavour.
Sliced kimchi is put into a pot with beef, pork or seafood, dubu, sliced spring onions and garlic and are all boiled together with water or myeolchi(멸치) stock. The stew is seasoned with either doenjang(된장) (bean paste) or gochujang (고추장)(red pepper paste).
Like many other Korean dishes kimchi jjigae is usually eaten communally from the center of the table if more than two people are served. It is accompanied by various banchan (side dishes) and rice. It is usually cooked and served boiling hot in a stone pot.

Chef's notes
I did plan to make this recipe but the kimchi I made in preparation of this recipe was ok, but not really to my personal taste. As a result, I've not actually tried this recipe.
