Prepare the Kimchi Base

Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces and reserve the juice. Older kimchi with a strong sour aroma works best, as its fermentation depth forms the backbone of the stew. Slice onions, mince garlic and cube the tofu. Keep everything ready, as jjigae cooking moves quickly once it begins.
