Kimchi stew (kimchi chigae) and soybean sprout side dish (kongnamool)

Kimchi stew is one of Koreans’ most favorite dishes all the year around. When you eat kimchi stew with rice, you won’t need any other side dishes. You can replace pork with a can of tuna or even 2 cans of tuna. : )


Ingredients:

200 grams of  Pork belly (about 1/2 pound)
4 or 5 cups of chopped kimchi
1 tbs sugar, 1 tsp of hot pepper flakes, 1 tbs hot pepper paste
onion, green onions
half a package of tofu
sesame oil and water
Ok, let’s start!

In a shallow pot, put some chopped kimchi and juice.
Add sliced onion, hot pepper paste, and hot pepper flakes, sugar, and green onions.
Pour water until all ingredients are submerged.
Close the lid of the pot and boil it 25 or 30 minutes. (first 10 minutes will be high heat and then turn down the heat over medium heat)
Add some tofu and boil it 5 minutes more and put some sesame oil right before serving.
