If there is a dish that defines my early days as a fresh-faced lawyer in Brisbane, this Kimchi Jjigae would be it. After long days of drafting affidavits, court hearings, mediations and other thrilling adventures, I always looked forward to grabbing dinner in town with my girlfriends.

One of our favourite haunts was a Korean restaurant near my office, and if we weren’t ordering a Budae Jjigae to share, I always relished a serve of this Kimchi Jjigae. To me, it was pure comfort food in a bowl.

But even after stuffing myself silly with more dumplings than we should have ordered, I still somehow found appetite left for a Char Siu Bao or two.
