Kimchi Jjigae Is The Stew Featured In ‘Always Be My Maybe’

In the Netflix movie "Always Be My Maybe," Ali Wong plays a Vietnamese-American who learns to cook with her Korean neighbor. Wong's character goes on to become a celebrity chef and restauranteur. But the one dish that forms the emotional center of the movie is kimchi jjigae, says Uproxx. Kimchi jigae is a classic Korean comfort food that's a spicy kimchi stew usually featuring pork, scallions and tofu. One Korean food expert described it as the Korean version of "your classic red sauce spaghetti."
