For my own experience, to tone down the spice in kimchi jjigae, you can add more broth or water to dilute the heat. Including extra vegetables like potatoes or carrots, or adding tofu, can help absorb some of the spiciness. Stirring in a bit of sugar or a splash of rice wine can also balance the flavors.
