Jijimi(Korean: 지짐이, Korean pronunciation: [tɕi.dʑi.mi]) is a type of Korean stew made by boiling meat, fish or vegetables. It is thicker than guk, but thinner than jjigae.
Joseon mussang sinsik yori jebeop, the first colour-printed Korean cookbook published in 1924, states that "Jijimi tastes better than guk, and jjigae tastes better than jijimi, being smaller in quantity and savourier."
