Per serving, Kimchi Jjigae runs about 74% more expensive in Spain than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Kimchi (aged), which is priced noticeably higher in Spain — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Thailand — the gap is too large to shrug off.
