- This was where my obsession with jjigae began. I set out to learn how to make not only this gateway jjigae, but all of the most popular jjigae of Korean cuisine: sundubu jjigae, kimchi jiigae[sic], gochujang jjigae and doenjang jjigae. Chicken soup may be for the soul, but jjigae is comfort food of the highest order.
