Kimchi Jigae

Aaah... I cannot say enough how a warm bowl of this deliciously spicy stew can warm you up even in the coldest of weathers. Clue in big blizzard, old jar of kimchi I made long time ago and ding ding... We have a winner!!!

Basic recipe is very simple which you can Google (I can't be doing all the work here :)). This is what I did:

Ingredients: bacon, half onion, kimchi, gojujhang, eggs (regular recipes I found calls for tofu but I wasn't gonna drive in the blizzard) and water.

Here's what you do:
- Sauté bacon until it starts rendering fat, add onion and sauté until tender (can be done with tuna but I didn't want any)
- Add kimchi and some juice + gojujhang for taste (this makes it salty and spicy so if you want less spicy add soy sauce)
- Add enough water to cover everything and simmer for about 20 mins
- Meanwhile, beat about 3 eggs in a microwave safe dish. Microwave for abt 2 minutes. Add ten seconds as necessary. Don't overcook. Slightly under cooked is better. Cut into big chunks. 
- Add to the stew in the end and simmer for about a minute. 
Serve hot and eat! YUM!
