Ingredients:

  • 16 oz pork belly*, sliced into 1/4 or a bit larger pieces (uncooked bacon can be used in a pinch, but if you can get pork belly - please use it. )
  • 2 tbsp. of oil
  • 4 tbsp kochujang (korean chili paste)
  • 3-4 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups kimchi (sometimes i add a little bit more because i adore )
  • 4 green onions , slice in a bias (save some for garnish)
  • 4 kochu (hot green chili), thinly sliced (save some for garnish)
  • 2 heaping tbsp kochukaru (korean pepper powder)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pack dooboo (tofu) - i use the soft variety, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • optional
  • at my asian supermarket, woo sung, this is in the frozen meat section and it is sliced in packages like thick cut bacon. pork belly is not a smoked meat (like bacon) - and is really delicious. like i said, you could use bacon - or i think pancetta would work well here, too.

Directions:

  1. Place a Dutch oven (or large soup pot) on the stove, set heat to medium high. When pan gets hot, add 2 tbsp. of oil to the hot pan and swirl around to cover cooking surface.
  2. Add pork belly (or bacon) and saute for about 8-10 minutes, until meat is fully cooked and starts getting a slight browned effect
  3. **NOTE: Despite the visible fat content in pork belly, it does not render much fat, so even with the added oil the pieces have a tendency to stick to the pan - so stir often
  4. Add chili paste and garlic and stir well into pork, scraping those delicious browned pork bits from the bottom of the pan; cook 1 additional minute over medium high heat, stirring once.
  5. Add kimchi, broth, green onions, green chiles, Korean chili paste, Korean pepper powder and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer for 30-35 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. Place some tofu in each serving bowl and ladle soup over the tofu. Garnish with green onion and green chili slices.
  8. Serve with rice.
