  • 3. tofu
  • 4. water
  • 5. kimchi juice
  • 6. gochugaru
  • 7. soy sauce
  • 8. green onions
  • 9. salt

Cooking method

1. Preparation

Gather all ingredients and utensils.

Chop the pork into bite-sized pieces.

Slice the tofu into cubes.

Chop the green onions into small pieces, separating the whites from the greens.

Prepare the kimchi by cutting it into smaller pieces if necessary.

2. Cooking

In a pot, add the sliced pork and sauté over medium-high heat until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add the kimchi to the pot and continue cooking for another 5 minutes to release its flavors.

Pour in the water (or broth) and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the kimchi juice from the jar and gochugaru. Stir to combine.

Add the tofu cubes gently into the pot, being careful not to break them.

Season the stew with soy sauce and salt to taste. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the whites of the green onions.

Serve hot, garnished with the green parts of the green onions.
