Ingredients

- 1/2 pound pork belly cut into bite-sized pieces, skinless
- 2 cups kimchi I’m using Napa Cabbage Kimchi, roughly chopped
- 1 onion chopped, small
- 6 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru
- 4 cups dashi or use water or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 7-8 ounces tofu cubed, firm
- 3-4 scallions chopped
- fish sauce to taste (1-2 teaspoons) - optional
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add pork belly with a pinch or 2 of salt. Cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, to render out some of the fat.
- Add 1.5 cups kimchi and onion, Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until lightly caramelized.
- Stir in garlic, gochujang, and gochugaru. Stir fry for 1 minute to bloom the garlic and spices.
- Add dashi (or stock or water) and soy sauce. Reduce heat and simmer 20-30 minutes.
- Add tofu, half of the scallions, and the remaining kimchi. Simmer 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt and fish sauce (if desired).
- Serve with steamed white rice and sprinkle with green onion.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, skip the pork belly and use vegetable stock.
