Jorim is a Korean cooking technique that refers to the process of braising or simmering food in a seasoned broth or sauce. The term "jorim" is derived from the Korean verb "jorida," which means to braise or simmer. This traditional cooking method is commonly used in Korean cuisine to enhance the flavors and textures of various ingredients.
In jorim, the main ingredient, such as meat, poultry, fish, tofu, or vegetables, is first seared or sautéed before being simmered in a flavorful liquid. The liquid typically consists of a combination of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar, and other aromatics, creating a savory and aromatic sauce that permeates the ingredients during the cooking process.
The braising or simmering process in jorim allows the ingredients to slowly cook and absorb the flavors of the broth, resulting in tender, well-seasoned, and juicy dishes. The cooking time can vary depending on the ingredients used, with some dishes requiring shorter cooking times and others benefiting from longer simmering periods to develop complex flavors.

From popular jorim dishes like braised beef short ribs (galbi jorim) to soy-braised tofu (dubu jorim) or braised lotus roots (yeon-geun jorim), this traditional Korean cooking method brings out the richness and depth of flavors in each dish.
