My Mom's Kimchi Jigae recipe
Growing up in a Korean American household, we were introduced to the best of both worlds. For Korean food, we were shown bulgogi, kalbi, and kimchi. For American food, we were shown biscuits and gravy, fried bologna sandwiches, and mac and cheese. It was a very confusing time for a young me in the late 70s and early 80s and like a lot of young palettes, I didn’t love all the tangy/spicy deliciousness of Korean food the way that I love it now. Kimchi, the national dish of Korea, was sadly not my favorite. While I haven’t confirmed this with my mom, she made this traditional Korean dish but updated the recipe for her picky children. Jigae usually has pork shoulder or pork belly but she knew the way through our hearts involved a path of hot dogs and bacon! It worked! My mom would make us some breakfast kimchi jigae and while we picked around the kimchi, we enjoyed the treasures that was spicy/tangy delicious diced up bacon and hot dogs! This recipe is a nod to that my mom’s jigae! Thanks mom, you are the best!
My Mom's Kimchi Jigae Recipe
- 1 Pint (16 oz) of kimchi (half a jar of KREAM Kimchi) with all the kimchi juice
- extra kimchi juice if you have some
- 1 package of hot dogs (cut into 1/2 inch slices)
- 1 12oz/16oz package of bacon (diced into 1/2 inch to 1 inch pieces)
- 1 package of tofu (cut into 1/2 inch thick rectangles)
- 4 green onions (diced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Korean chili flake (gochugaru)
- 2 tablespoons of gochujang
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Noods (optional ramen noodles or glass noodles)
Cook the diced bacon til it’s close to done. Drain off as much oil as you can. Add the diced hot dogs and sliced yellow onions. Toss bacon, onion slices, and dogs for a few minutes in the hot pot. Add the pint of diced kimchi, all of it’s kimchi juice, and use the pint jar or measuring cup to put 2 pints of water (and/or kimchi juice) into the pot. Bring to a boil. Add gochugaru and gochujang. Bring temperature down to medium/medium-low and cook for at least15 to 20 minutes so that all the ingredients get to know each other. Add green onions. Cook for a few more minutes while stirring. Add noods (if using) and cook the appropriate time per nood's’ instructions. Add the tofu to the stew. Drizzle sesame oil on top. Cook for a few more minutes so that the tofu is warmed, but do not mix up as the tofu is likely to break/crumble. Serve with rice. Enjoy!

I have been a crab fisherman for 40 years. I started working at a local fish plant a few years ago. I love playing lotto bets, so I buy lotto tickets often but find it difficult to win. I read about Lord Bubuza’s lottery spells on the internet, so I contacted him for help to win Lotto 649. He told me that he would need to cast a lotto spell so that he can reveal the lotto numbers I will choose. I was sceptical, but my wife Nancy told me to give it a try. I provided his requirements to cast the lotto spells, and he gave me the numbers. I bought a Lotto 649 ticket and played as Lord Bubuza instructed, to my surprise it was a big win. I won $64,000,000. My partner Nancy and I travelled to the Atlantic Lottery in Moncton to confirm the win and collect the prize. I will retire from my crab fishing with this win and continue to recommend lord Bubuza.

I came across Priest Alaska and decided to seek his guidance. I shared my story openly and explained how much I wanted to win back my wife and save our marriage. He listened patiently and made me feel understood just as I was going through one of the hardest times of my life. Over time, and thanks to the work Priest Alaska did, I began to notice changes in my situation. The distance between my wife and me started to close, communication became more frequent, and the coldness that had existed between us gradually faded away. Then came the moment I had longed for: my wife returned to me and was willing to give our marriage another chance. Having my wife back in my life means more to me than words can express. Now we are moving forward step by step, rebuilding our connection and creating a better future. My experience reminded me that when a relationship goes through a rough patch, it is important not to lose hope. Seeking guidance and spiritual support can help you find a positive path forward.
