Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Kimchi Jigae (Korean Kimchi Soup).
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large skillet and tossing in your chopped kimchi, water, brown sugar, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Set the heat to medium-high and let the mixture bubble away until it reaches a lively boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling, introduce the pork belly and, if you’re feeling adventurous, some optional luncheon meat.
Step 4
Give everything a good stir to blend those flavors together.
Step 5
If you like a little kick, now’s the time to add in some kochujang for that extra spice.
Step 6
Next, gently place the silken tofu and enoki mushrooms into the skillet, taking care not to break the delicate tofu.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium-low and let your stew simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 8
This is the perfect time for the kimchi to soften and the pork to become tender and flavorful.
Step 9
As the aromas fill your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a delicious treat! Enjoy your hearty kimchi stew!.
