Korean Comfort, Summer Style: Why Stews and Pancakes Still Hit the Spot
Spring is here, summer is close, and the mood is shifting from heavy meals to lighter, fresher options that still deliver serious flavour. At Kimchi, we’re proud to serve Korean dishes that do just that: feel-good comfort food that’s big on taste and built for sharing.
Stews That Nourish Don’t let the word "stew" fool you. Korean jjigae and soondubu are light, broth-based bowls full of spice, protein, and fermented goodness. They’re not just meals they’re wellness in a bowl. Rich in nutrients and low in fat, these dishes keep things light without cutting corners on flavour. Whether it’s tofu, kimchi, seafood, or vegetables, our stews are crafted to energise, not weigh you down.
Pajeon: Pancakes With a Crunch Say goodbye to syrupy stacks and hello to savoury crunch. Pajeon Korean-style pancakes made with spring onions, seafood, or kimchi are crisp, fresh, and perfect for group meals. They’re a great warm-weather choice: easy to share, packed with flavour, and a total crowd-pleaser at any table.
Health, Balance, and Flavour More UK diners are looking for meals that are healthy but still satisfying. Korean food nails that balance. With fermented ingredients, fresh vegetables, and lean proteins, dishes like stews and jeon are helping shape a new kind of comfort food light enough for warm days, bold enough to crave.
And let’s not forget the social side. Whether it’s a group dinner, a casual hangout, or a catch-up over lunch, Korean cuisine is made for moments that matter. Food brings people together and at Kimchi, we’re all about turning good meals into great memories.
