Kimchi Chigae 김치 찌개

Tonight was the last class of Korean Level 4. Teacher Kim made us Kimchi Chigae using Kimchi made and airmailed from South Korea by her mother.

Teacher Kim creating this delicious dish.

I didn't know this before, but it's Kimchi Chigae is really easy to prepare.

All you need is:

1. Kimchi made by a Korean mother
2. Anchovies from South Korea
3. Kelp from South Korea
4. Canned tuna
5. Water

Teacher Kim emphasized that no additional seasoning is required.

Figuring out how the portable stoves work.

Boil for about 20 minutes, then add the tuna.

Another 10 minutes later... KIMCHI CHIGAE!!! 

It's sooooooooooo good!!

One of my classmates and I decided last week that we would complete the meal by bringing Banchan (side dishes) and Makgeolli!! =)))

(Banchan is from Chan Chan Chan in Takashimaya Basment.
Makgeolli is from Sol Mart in Novena Square 2.)

A toast before we lose ourselves in the Kimchi Chigae, Banchan and Makgeolli!!

Teacher Kim tahpau-ed what's left for me to bring home to 'Good Fren'. He agrees that this is the best Kimchi Chigae we've had to date. I told him this is what our meals would taste like if we had a Korean mother. =))

Till the next Korean Language class level in mid-August!
