Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups packed bite size kimchi (fully fermented)
4 ounces fresh pork belly (or other pork meat with some fat or other protein choice)
1 to 3 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean red chili pepper flakes) ( adjust to taste or omit)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/2 cup juice from kimchi (if available)
6 ounces tofu
2 scallions
salt (or a little bit of soup soy sauce or regular soy sauce) and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the kimchi into bite size pieces.
  • Cut the meat into bite sizes. Slice the tofu (about 1/2-inch thick), and roughly chop the scallions.

  • Add the kimchi juice and about 2 to 2.5 cups of water (or broth). Bring it to a boil, and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium, and boil, covered, for about 15 minutes. You can add more water if necessary.
  • Drop the tofu and scallions in. Salt (or soup or regular soy sauce) and pepper to taste. (Salt is usually not necessary, unless kimchi was lightly seasoned or kimchi juice is not available.) Boil until the tofu is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve while bubbling over from the heat.

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
4 dried anchovies
1 dried kelp
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
¼ medium white onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 oz pork belly, cut into 1 (2.54 cm)
¾ cup kimchi, drained and chopped into bite-sized pieces, juices reserved
1 teaspoon korean chile flakes, gochugaru
½ teaspoon sugar
sea salt, to taste
8 oz firm tofu, cut into 1/2 in (1.2 cm)
2 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced
1 green onion, chopped
½ teaspoon sesame oil
white rice, steamed, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the anchovy and kelp broth: In a medium pot, combine the water, dried anchovies, and kelp. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. Strain the broth and discard the solids. Set the broth aside until ready to use.
  • Make the kimchi jjigae: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot over high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and pork belly and cook until the onions soften and the pork is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the drained, chopped kimchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly darkened.
  • Add the Korean chile flakes, sugar, salt, reserved kimchi juice, and anchovy and kelp broth and stir well to combine.
  • Lay the tofu and mushrooms on top of the soup and gently stir to submerge in the broth (do not break up the tofu). Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and season the soup with more salt to taste.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the green onion and sesame oil. Serve with white rice, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
