Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 lb pork belly, thinly sliced or pre-sliced by butcher
• 1 cup old kimchi
• 1/2 pack tofu (medium or firm), cubed
• 3 cups water
• 1 tsp soy sauce

1. Heat a medium sized pot over medium high heat. Add the pork and saute it for a minute or until pork starts to turn white.

2. Pour in water and add in kimchi and tofu. Cover and bring to a boil. Once it's up to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

3. Add soy sauce and ladle into large soup bowls. Serve with a bowl of white rice on the side.

Tips & Warnings

• Old kimchi is just kimchi that has been fermented longer. It gives the stew a richer taste. If you do not have access to older kimchi, just buy a small jar of fresh kimchi from your grocer, and leave it in your fridge for 2 weeks. This will allow the fresh kimchi to ferment longer and become old kimchi.
