I filled up on a two-person stone-pot rice and fresh-pork kimchi stew set, perilla-oil fried eggs, unlimited ramen noodles, snow fungus, scorched rice, and dessert.

The delicious kimchi stew comes with unlimited rice, side dishes, and ramen noodles—and the rice is served in a stone pot too ❤️ I had such a filling, generous spread of kimchi stew for one seriously satisfying meal. ![Kimchi stew spread at Choburi Kimchi Jjigae Gojan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-02-1fu3s-900.webp) ## Choburi Kimchi Jjigae Gojan Main Branch: Visitor Information It is at Units 111–113, 145-7 Gwangdeok 3-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

It was really spacious! The tables were nicely spread out too, so it was easy to eat at a relaxed pace. I ordered two portions of the individual stone-pot rice and kimchi stew set, plus the spicy, crispy buckwheat kimchi dumplings as a side. The set comes with a perilla-oil fried egg, ramen noodles, and soda. ![Contents of the kimchi stew set](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-04-1bz1s-900.webp) ## Events I Checked Before Visiting There were all sorts of events running.

Visit in a group of three or more between 11:30 and 13:00 and fresh Korean pork belly topping is free!! Maximum one per table. Regardless of the time, police officers, military personnel, and firefighters also receive complimentary fresh-pork topping :) ![Events by visit time](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-06-1skr4-900.webp) ## How to Cook the Kimchi Stew Deliciously - Boil it thoroughly for the 7 minutes set by the staff, at level 6. Be careful: at level 7 or higher, the kimchi may burn. - Once the power switches off, keep it gently simmering at level 1–2 as you eat. - Mix freshly cooked stone-pot rice and stew together in your bowl. - For the ramen noodles, add more broth first, then add the noodles once the broth boils! ![Instructions for enjoying kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-07-1fyba-900.webp) ## Stone-Pot Rice and Kimchi Stew Set for Two The two-person stone-pot rice and kimchi stew set came with kimchi stew, stone-pot rice, perilla-oil fried eggs, ramen noodles, and soda. The basic sides were pickled chilies, roasted seaweed, soy sauce, and stir-fried fish cake. If you need more side dishes, use the self-serve bar. Rice is refillable by yourself too, so no worries if you run short. > Stone-pot rice + kimchi stew set for two (+ extra fresh Korean pork), buckwheat kimchi dumplings > Choburi kimchi stew for two Choburi kimchi stew is a fresh-pork kimchi stir-fried stew, distinguished by its low, reduced broth! After letting it boil thoroughly once, set the heat to level 1–2 and keep it gently bubbling away for an even tastier meal. ![Two servings of fresh-pork kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-08-mvx4b-900.webp) ![Gently simmered, reduced kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-09-mi0l0-900.webp) ### Free Snow Fungus Topping with a Naver Reservation Reserve through Naver and the snow fungus topping is free!! I made a Naver reservation too, and snow fungus was already in the kimchi stew without me even having to ask >< I had only really eaten snow fungus lately with mala tang, but it was such a great match for the kimchi stew broth too. ![Kimchi stew with snow fungus topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-10-1n0mb-900.webp) Choburi Kimchi Jjigae Gojan Main Branch says it uses 100% fresh Korean pork from an official Handon-certified supplier. It was wonderfully tender and high quality, with no unpleasant pork smell at all. ![Kimchi stew with fresh Korean pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-11-9q1x8-900.webp) ![Kimchi stew with kimchi and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-12-4sp8k-900.webp) Kimchi stew needs good kimchi, right? The plentiful kimchi was so perfectly fermented that I could have eaten bowls of rice with just the kimchi and nothing else. There was plenty of tofu as well, making it even heartier. If this is not a rice thief, what is.. But above all, the kimchi stew broth was not salty and was wonderfully mellow—the ultimate rice thief. They say the deep, rich savory flavor comes from a special red seasoning they make themselves and age for 72 hours before simmering it into the stew! ## Definitely Add the Perilla-Oil Fried Egg > Perilla-oil fried egg ![Perilla-oil fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-13-1qx10-900.webp) Lots of people eat kimchi stew with a regular fried egg, but Choburi Kimchi Jjigae’s egg is a perilla-oil fried egg—the name alone sounds delicious. ![Soft-yolk perilla-oil fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-14-3fmww-900.webp) ![Moist perilla-oil fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-15-1ch9s-900.webp) A soft-yolk fried egg, drenched in fragrant perilla oil! The nuttiness was absolutely insane. It is a side dish that tastes good even on its own, not only with kimchi stew; I keep thinking about it enough to want to make it at home. I absolutely recommend it!! ![Kimchi stew paired with stone-pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-16-1kftj-900.webp) ![Stone-pot rice served with kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-17-tl4bc-900.webp) Even simply topping rice with kimchi stew broth, kimchi, and fresh Korean pork was so clean-tasting and delicious. But mix in the perilla-oil fried egg too, and one spoonful is the kind of flavor that instantly revives an appetite you did not even have. ![Kimchi stew broth and ramen noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-18-m4hv1-900.webp) ## Unlimited Ramen Noodles and Stone-Pot Scorched Rice Ramen noodles in delicious broth are basically a rule..! As the kimchi stew kept simmering, the broth became even deeper and richer, so it was pure heaven with ramen. ![Ramen noodles in kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-19-19xly-900.webp) I was so full that I really meant to resist the ramen, but the second I tasted the broth, it was magic—I completely forgot ㅠ The ramen noodles are unlimited ❤️❤️ You can add more broth when you run low, so you can have as much rich, deep kimchi-stew ramen as you want ❤️ Once you have cleared the ramen, it is the real final round..! The stone-pot rice’s nurungji (crispy scorched rice) is still waiting ❤️ At the beginning, scoop out the rice from the stone pot and pour in water; open it later and there is that wonderfully toasty nurungji—perfect for finishing the meal. ## Spicy, Crispy Buckwheat Kimchi Dumplings ![Spicy, crispy buckwheat kimchi dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-20-h4vcq-900.webp) I ordered the kimchi dumplings because kimchi stew alone felt a little lacking! Since the stew is already a spicy red dish, I originally considered the Bongpyeong chive buckwheat pancake. But I thought dumplings would be easier to eat and perhaps more delicious than a pancake, so I ordered them. Apparently, I deliberated a lot.. haha... They were crisp yet chewy outside, with plenty of kimchi and glass noodles inside. Even the kimchi dumplings alone showed just how delicious Choburi Kimchi Jjigae’s kimchi is. ![Coffee and ice cream dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-21-1t4ty-899.webp) ![Restaurant dessert ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-22-b7jxu-900.webp) ![Dessert to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-23-1om0n-900.webp) ![Unlimited stone-pot rice and kimchi stew spread in Gojan-dong, Ansan, at Choburi Kimchi Jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae/ansan-gojan-sotbap-kimchi-jjigae-24-1u4er-900.webp) The true, true finale is coffee and sweet ice cream for dessert~~! Eat like this and be warned: you will be so full you could skip food tomorrow. ## Kimchi Stew Meal Kits for Home When you have eaten something this delicious, you want it again at home, right? haha The meal kits mean you can now enjoy Choburi Kimchi Jjigae easily at home too.
