Gochujang Kimchi Jjigae (Kimchi Stew)

Description

I am a Korean food lover and I have tried many restaurants in Koreatown, NYC. My favourite dish is from Pocha 32. I tried to imitate the taste of it and now my kimchi stew with gochujang is my family’s all time favourite and the center of all the barbeque parties.
