    Tuna Kimchi Jjigae for one. Savoury, delicious, warm and comforting. The perfect accompaniment to rice and serves well for dinner or lunch.

    This tuna kimchi soup recipe is one of my favourite Korean recipes. I love it so much especially on a cold day when I want to be instantly warmed up!

    The tuna combined with the spicy kimchi broth and onions makes this dish one that you need to try if you love Korean food as much as I do. It's so good served with steamed rice and more kimchi!

      Can you believe we woke up to snow yesterday? Which means I'm still needing all of the warm and cozy meals like this one! Super flavorful, Christie!

      I didn't know what kimchi was until the other day and saw how it was made on a cooking show. There's a lot to it! I love your spin on it incorporating it into a comforting dish.
