Kimchi Jigae (Kimchee Soup)

  4.8 – 4 reviews  • Pork Soup Recipes

The simplest method for making sliced beef is using bottom round roast. There is minimal effort required for a lot of flavor. Although it sounds terrible, the vinegar really improves it. It’s a simple main meal for working parents!

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups chopped kimchi
  2. 1 cup water
  3. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  4. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  5. ½ pound pork belly, cut into bite-size pieces
  6. 1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), cubed (Optional)
  7. ¼ cup kochujang (Korean hot sauce) (Optional)
  8. 1 (12 ounce) package silken tofu
  9. 1 (3 ounce) package enoki mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Combine kimchi, water, sugar, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir in pork belly, luncheon meat, and kochujang. Add tofu and mushrooms; stir carefully so you don’t break up the tofu. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until kimchi is softened and pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. Use any kind of tofu you prefer.

I added more water so it would be more soupy as well as some red crushed pepper. I tried this at a Korean restaurant once and just HAD to eat it
Jeremy Jones
Delicious soup! I added one more cup of water, as it didn’t seem like enough liquid. Turned out great!
