I love making this on a rainy day.

  • Kimchi
  • Tofu
  • Gochujang paste
  • Minced garlic
  • Gochugaru (korean pepper flakes)
  • Fish sauce
  • sesame oil

    • Instructions:

    In a small pot add in a bit of sesame oil and fry your pork belly. Once the pork belly is brown and crispy on the edges add the garlic and fry for a couple seconds before adding as much kimchi as you want along with its juices. Then add some water OR chicken broth for better flavor, a splash of fish sauce, the gochujang paste, and gochugaru. Let this boil for 15 to 20 minutes before adding the tofu and let simmer for another 10 minutes or however long you wanna cook it for idk idk do you! as long as the meat is cooked you're fiiiiiiine.
