Seafood Jjigae

I love korean food. I took a liking to Kimchi Jjigae ever since my bestie Jo introduced me to Korean cuisine eight years ago.  When your kids grew up, roles are revised, she became my  mentor and I became her student and bestie *wink.   After my first taste of Kimchi Jjigae, there was no stopping me from making my own kimchi and many other Korean dishes using kimchi .  Kimchi is not only a condiment and pickle, it is also used as an ingredient in many cooked dishes. And Kimchi Jjigae is one of them. The kimchi provides a deep favour to the broth. You can also add beef to your Jjigae  but for today , I used the leftovers seafood from the steamboat we had two days ago. Dinner was just this bowl of seafood jjigae cooked straight in my favourite stoneware bowl , from the stove to the table :)
