Ingredients
- 1 lb pork belly
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- 2 tbsp Gochugaru Korean chili/hot pepper powder
- ½ cup kimchi or more
- 1 tbsp Gochujang hot pepper paste
- 1 tbsp doenjang soybean paste. add an additional ½ tbsp if you are concerned about the spice level
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Russet potatoes peeled and chopped
- ½ tbsp better than bouillon beef (or use stock)
- 1 pack soft tofu
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot on medium heat, add the sliced pork belly and let brown on both sides, giving it a stir every so often. It doesn’t need to perfectly sear.
- Add in the onions and minced garlic and sauté.
- Once the onion has softened, add in the gochugaru (pepper powder) and stir until everything is coated.
- Next add in the kimchi with some of its juices, the more the merrier.
- Then add in the gochujang and doenjang. Stir to combine.
- Add in the soy sauce, potatoes, and 6 cups of water. Stir in the Better Than Bouillon.
- Make sure everything is stirred together and bring the stew up to a boil before lowering it down to a simmer.
- Let the stew simmer for up to 30 minutes or until the potatoes have cooked through. Add in the soft tofu.
- Serve with some rice and enjoy! I like to garnish with some green onions but that’s optional.
