Kimchee chigae with rib pork chop(돼지 목살/갈비 김치찌개)

After I moved to Hawaii, I like Kimchee(Korean spicy cabbage pickle) even more.
Whether you like raw Kimchee or not, you still have chance to fall in love with a lot different kind of Korean food made from Kimchee.
Kimchee fried rice, kimcheechigae(Kimchee soup), kimchee jun(jijimi), kimchi pork, kimchee cream cheese...etc

Today, I'd like to tell you my kimcheechigae(kimchee soup) recipe. Kimcheechigae is one of the most famous dish in Korea. It is not a fancy food however people just love it and miss it as a soul food. You can make kimcheechigae with pork, spam, tuna, mackerel.

My recipe is pork kimcheechigae. Spam and canned tuna and canned mackerel are way easier than this. I guarantee all of you can make this perfectly :)

Let's start!
Oh! before we start, the most important part of making Kimcheechigae is getting the "right" kimchee.
Please visit nearest Korean owned supermarket to get the Korean authentic kimchee.
And wait until it's sour. Well made Kimchee gets soda kick in the end.

tofu-half(optional)
green onion-2(optional)
shoyu(soy sauce)-1T
sesame oil-1T(you may use olive oil or canola oil instead)
red pepper powder-you may add if you like spicy food
pepper
rice wine-4T(cooking sake)

How to make>
-Cut every ingredient into one bite size
-Fry pork with 1Ts of oil(sesame oil recommended)
-Add kimchee and fry together until the kimchee looks soft.(5minutes)
-Add water(lower than ingredients).
-Boil it. You may add Kimchee juice or chili pepper powder for strong taste
-If you think it is too sour you may add 1Ts(max) of sugar
-Add tofu, onion, rice wine and wait 20 more minutes with medium heat.
-Check consistently to not burn the soup.
-You may add salt or soy sauce if it is too bland
-Finish with a pinch of pepper and green onion.

Usually, it has amazing bold taste.
If yours is not, just try one more time :)


When you make Kimchee soup with canned food (tuna, spam...etc),
fry only kimchee and add all ingredient together.
Good luck!!!
