Etymology
Jorim is a verbal noun derived from the Korean verb jorida ( 조리다 ; "to boil down"). Although it was a commonly used culinary technique, the term did not appear until the 18th century, due to the slow development of culinary terminology. Instead, jorim dishes were classified as jochi , a category that encompasses jjim and jjigae as well as jorim . The first mention of the verbal noun jorim as a food category appeared in Siuijeonseo , a 19th-century cookbook, in describing jang-jorim (soy sauce simmered beef) methods.
