Kimchi Jjigae Base

Our Kimchi Jjigae Base is a vibrant, opaque red liquid with a light, watery consistency. It delivers a bold aroma of live ferments, with a sour and funky kick that’s unmistakably authentic. This base is designed for versatility, making it easy to create classic Korean Kimchi Jjigae stew, a punchy kimchi-flavoured salad or slaw, or even a quick ferment for vegetables. Our Innovation chef recommends using it to transform older batches of kimchi or vegetables into a delicious stew, or to whip up a speedy ferment slaw or salad that fits within most food safety guidelines. It’s a practical addition for chefs looking to maximise ingredients and reduce waste. With gut-friendly bacteria similar to our kimchi, this base offers a unique flavour profile and multiple applications, whether you’re after a hearty stew, a zingy salad or a base for DIY fermenting. It's perfect for plant-based menus and chefs seeking flexible, flavour-packed solutions.
