Korean Cuisine- various soups

   Korean people like to eat soup together when they eat rice. There are two types of soup. One is " Jjigae". It is closer to stew than soup. The other type of soup is "Gook" .  Jjigae is usually thicker than gook.  There are various kinds of  Jjigae and Gook. We name the soup according to what we put in the soup. If we put Kimchi in it, we call it "Kimchi Jjigae".
  
   This is Kimchi Jjigae. We usually put kimchi, pork, tofu and red pepper in it. 

    
    This is bean paste jjigae. We have our traditional pastes such as bean paste and red pepper paste.
    If you make stew with Korean traditional bean paste, that is what we call " Doenjang Jjigae".
