This emoji can represent various soupy dishes from different countries, like Korean jjigae or tang, Western stew, or Japanese nabe. You could use it when saying, 'Kimchi stew for dinner tonight!'

In Korean culture, soups and stews are the core of a 'home-cooked meal' and are considered 'soul food' that soothes the heart. So, this emoji is widely used to convey emotional and warm feelings beyond just food, such as a mother's cooking, the taste of home, and a friendly atmosphere.
