So if that doesn't sound too gross to you, it might be worth a try. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-2272 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:15:20 +0000 emilgower 2272@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I know I'm late in the conversation, but if you want to get rid of much of the smoky flavor and salt that's in bacon you can blanch it (put it in boiling water for a few minutes) before using it in a recipe. This will also boil off a little of the fat.</p> <p>Also, if you can't find pork belly anywhere consider salt pork, which isn't smoked but does have a lot of salt. You can blanch this also to reduce the saltiness, and it doesn't have any smoky flavor at all. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-1481 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:51:50 +0000 chirp 1481@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Bacon just might do... if you do it the Budae Jjigae way. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-1479 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:32:15 +0000 Pure_Hapa 1479@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>If you want a spicy fish stew, try Maangchi's <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/maeuntang">MaeunTang</a> recipe instead. </p> <p>The pork flavor is so important in Kimchi Chigae, in my humble opinion. I don't use pork belly myself, since it's not something I usually keep in stock. I use regular bacon or some other pork that I have on hand instead. </p> <p>Of course, there are no rules in cooking! So if you want to try something different go for it! Then make sure to post your results for us. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-1472 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 01:46:05 +0000 koralex90 1472@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Well, from my experience, I really do not recommend fish fillets in kimchi jigae. pork and tuna give the soup a deep taste but fish fillets at least for me dont give a good broth. I dont like tuna that much too but with Kimchi Jiggae it's a wonder! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-1470 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:35:25 +0000 sarangseureowuh 1470@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Maangchi!</p> <p>I love your videos and I've actually tried making ddukbokgi using the help entirely from your video! The recipe is great thanks a lot for making them.</p> <p>I'm planning to make kimchi jigae now, but I'm just wondering if I could replace pork with fish fillet? Cos I'm not really a big fan of tuna so can I use some other fish? and if yes, would there be any alterations in terms of when the fish should be put into the jigae, since fish is very soft compared to pork belly? Should I pre-cook the fish first? Or is it a bad idea to put fish fillet in the jigae at all?</p> <p>thanks alot ^^ </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-886 Fri, 08 May 2009 09:43:51 +0000 dannyboy001 886@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Tuna or pork is good. I think beef or chicken gets really tasteless and sometimes too dry. I would not use bacon since it adds that smokey flavor to the kimchee jigae, rather use pork belly meat from a butcher or something. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-847 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:10:19 +0000 alibsam 847@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>You can also use canned tuna and make chamchee kimchi jjigae. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-777 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:40:09 +0000 Maangchi 777@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>rXcanadensis,<br /> I prefer pork belly to other parts of pork for kimchi chigae, but you could use any parts of pork meat. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-767 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 23:24:09 +0000 rXcanadensis 767@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>It's a little bit late to reply, but I think you could use anykind of pork meat no? Something like pork loin or maybe chopped spare ribs. Are there any rules for kimchi chigae anyway? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-662 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:36:10 +0000 Maangchi 662@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>icxnamjah,<br /> yes, you could use the bacon for kimchi stew. Some people use "spam" or sausage and bacon for their kimchi stew. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bacon-and-kimchee-chigae#post-660 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 09:20:42 +0000 icxnamjah 660@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Maangchi, great website!</p> <p>I am a student in a state where even a chinese take-out place is rare so I have been craving some authentic korean food.</p> <p>I finally found a place online where I can order kimchee (granny choe's) and it is pretty amazing I must say. Taste almost as good as my own grandmother's kimchee.</p> <p>I was wondering, since I can not find pork belly (sam gae sarl) anywhere around here if I can use thick hickory smoked bacon instead? I don't want it to end up tasting bad and wasting this rare bottle of kimchee haha...</p> <p>Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! </p>
