Here's a good comfort food. My mom made this own version taking after the Army stew using processed meat (kielbasa & hot dogs)

My mom's gochujang-jigae (Korean chili pepper paste stew):

Gochujang-Jjigae-1-1024x578.jpg


Ingredients (serves 8-10)
  • Gochujang (Korean chill paste)
  • 2-3 Potatoes cubed
  • 2-3pc of zucchini cut as half moon shapes, about 1/2" thick.
  • 1 large onion, cut.
  • 14 oz of kielbasa (the ones you can grab at supermarket - Hillshire farm, etc), cut them up thin.
  • 1 pack of hotdogs, cut them up thin
  • 1 pack of tofu, cubed.
  • Short grain Korean/Japanese rice (not Chinese or SE Asian - huge diff in texture and moisture).
Recipe:
  1. Just like any stews, it's very easy - chop them all up then bring to boil.
  2. Get a big pot and fill it 1/4 with water, let's say about 8 fluid cups
  3. Put in a full cup of gochujang paste. You'll see that the paste is rather mild, sweet, and savory. Loosen up the paste and let it reach equilibrium. You'll get a nice red/orange bubbling base.
  4. Put in potatoes first as they take the longest.
  5. Then put in rest after the base has been brought to boil.
  6. Simmer for 20 minutes until potatoes are fully cooked & zucchini becomes translucent / bit beat up.
  7. Serve with white rice on the side.
