Does anyone know the main difference between kimchi jjigae and kimchi-guk? It seems like Koreans are able to tell them apart but I don’t really see a marked difference in the appearance of both!
Kimchi soup (guk) tastes similar to kimchi stew (jjigae) but stew is thicker.
We usually serve soup individually, and everyone gets one bowl. Kimchi stew is usually served in a pot and placed on the table for everyone to share. It’s also saltier.
