If you have kimchi, you can already make real Korean Kimchi Stew at home. No special sauce, no complicated steps — just simple, cozy Korean comfort food.

Ingredients

  • 11oz /300g kimchi
  • 7oz /200g pork (belly or shoulder)

How to Make It

Step 1. Slice the pork and kimchi. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a pot. Add 7oz/200g of sliced pork and cook for about 2 minutes, until a little fat starts to come out. Then add 11oz/300g of sliced kimchi, ½ Tbsp gochugaru, ½ Tbsp gochujang, and ½ Tbsp minced garlic. Stir-fry everything together for about 2 more minutes, this quick stir-frying makes the stew much deeper and richer in flavor.

Step 3.  Cut tofu, onion, and green onion into bite-sized pieces and add them to the stew. Cook for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust with salt or a little tuna fish sauce if needed. Hearty, cozy Korean Kimchi Stew is ready! 


Serve with warm steamed rice and don’t forget to scoop kimchi, pork, tofu, and broth all in one spoonful!
