Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re making a hearty and satisfying dish that both kids and adults love: Pork and Kimchi Stew. The combination of well-fermented kimchi and tender pork makes it the perfect rice accompaniment. Just one bowl of this stew will have your rice vanishing in moments!
Step 2
First, let’s gather the ingredients for our Kimchi Stew. Prepare the right amount of ingredients to ensure a fresh and delicious stew.
Step 3
Prepare about 1/4 of a head of well-fermented kimchi. Gently shake off excess kimchi juice, then carefully roll pieces of pork within the kimchi leaves. Wrapping the pork in kimchi allows the juices to meld with the kimchi as it cooks, creating a deeper flavor, and also makes it much easier to eat. Remember, you can adjust the seasoning based on how sour your kimchi is.
Step 4
After rolling the pork inside the kimchi, slice the radish into half-moon shapes and place them at the bottom of your pot. Then, arrange the rolled kimchi and pork pieces attractively on top of the radish. The radish helps to make the broth refreshing and prevents the kimchi and pork from sticking to the bottom.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the broth that will bring our stew to life. Use anchovy-kelp broth or rice water. Pour in the broth, and then prepare the seasoning mixture for the stew. In a small bowl, combine a little broth, minced garlic, gochugaru, soy sauce, and sugar, mixing them well. This seasoning will add a wonderful umami depth to your Kimchi Stew.
Step 6
Drizzle the prepared seasoning mixture evenly over the kimchi and pork. Now, cover the pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-30 minutes, allowing everything to cook thoroughly. When the kimchi and pork are tender and the broth has thickened slightly, your golden recipe for delicious Pork and Kimchi Stew will be complete! Finally, garnish with chopped green onions for an extra aromatic touch, making it even more delightful.
