Kimchi Jjigae

Day 17 Circuit Breaker: Spicy Kimchi Stew

Prior to circuit breaker, I decided to get a tub of Gochujang Korean chilli paste. This is one of the 2 main ingredients to make Kimchi Jjigae stew, besides the kimchi. I didn't have minced pork, so I used fishball instead. Unfortunately, the end result of my Kimchi Stew fell short. I guess meat really makes a difference in the stew stock. :D 

Improvised with fishball, carrot and broccoli
