Dubu Kimchi (Tofu with Stir-fried Kimchi and Pork)

Dubu Kimchi combines tender boiled tofu slices with stir-fried kimchi and pork seasoned with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and gochujang. The fried mixture softens the kimchi and cooks the pork through, creating a harmonious balance of spicy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors that complement the mild tofu.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups kimchi fully fermented
  • 1/2 pound pork thinly sliced; or pork belly
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons gochujang Korean red chili pepper paste, 고추장
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 18- oz tofu package

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut kimchi and pork into bite sizes. Thinly slice onion and scallions. In a large bowl, combine kimchi, pork, onion, scallions and the remaining ingredients and mix well. Let it stand for 15 minutes.
  2. In a medium size pot, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil. Cut the tofu into two blocks. Reduce the heat to medium high, and add the tofu. Gently boil for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the tofu to a colander to drain. Cut each block into about 1/2-inch thick slices.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add the kimchi and pork mix. Cook until the kimchi becomes soft, the pork is cooked through, and most of the liquid generated during the cooking process is evaporated, about 5 - 6 minutes.
  4. Arrange the tofu slices nicely on a plate leaving an open space in the middle part. Place the stir-fried kimchi and pork in the middle and serve. Or, you can serve the stir-fried kimchi and tofu side by side.
