The preparation of jorim involves simmering the main ingredient in a mixture of soy sauce, water, sugar, and other seasonings. The choice of ingredients and seasonings can vary widely, allowing for a diverse range of flavors and textures. Commonly used ingredients include fish such as mackerel, beef, tofu, and various vegetables.<br />

The cooking process begins by preparing the broth, which typically includes soy sauce, water, sugar, and sometimes [[rice wine]] or [[mirin]] for added depth. Aromatics such as garlic, ginger, and green onions are often added to enhance the flavor. The main ingredient is then added to the broth and simmered over low heat until it is tender and the flavors are well absorbed.<br />

* '''Dubujjim''' (두부찜): A vegetarian version using tofu, which absorbs the flavors of the braising liquid beautifully.<br />
* '''Jangjorim''' (장조림): A beef-based jorim, where beef is braised in soy sauce and often served with boiled eggs.<br />
