Hi Emily, this soup is to die for and it is a perfect as is. Wow! my family loves it too. Oh, I have seen this soup mentioned so many times on Korean Dramas and it looked good so I am glad I found the recipe here to try it. It is a keeper. By the way, I want to try your Japanese cheesecake recipe but the ingredients are in oz. Do you happen to have them in U.S measurements like in cups and spoons ? Thanks again.

I loved this soup! I am Korean, too, so wanted to try another recipe, as we all have different twists on our own home dishes. This one was so good and I am so glad to see that Emily is sharing her recipes for us all! Korean's DON"T use recipes and that can be really hard for us who want to learn how to make excellent, authentic Korean food! Thank you, Emily, and PLEASE keep making recipes! My mother died before I learned all her recipes, so I'll take any help I can get!

I took alot of creative license on this one, turned out brilliant, used some hot sauce instead of chilli paste/powder, skipped the rice wine, instead using a large portion of rice wine vinegar, since the kimchi had very little liquid. I also ignored all the portions and just went by taste, I loved it, but my flatmates who do quite alright with indian food apparently can't handle spicy liquids... :<

It was so quick and easy to make. So good too. I don't eat mushrooms or pork so I added thin strips of beef instead. Luckly I there is a Korean super market in town so I got everything I needed. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Excellent Dish. Adding vinegar to the Kim Chee added to the flavor. I added miso paste.
