Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a pot, combine 1.5 cups kimchi with its juice, 0.5 lb sliced pork belly or beef, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until the meat is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 medium zucchini (sliced) and 1 tbsp gochugaru. Cook until the zucchini is tender but still firm, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Gently add 8 oz tofu (cubed) and 3 sliced green onions. Simmer for 2 minutes until the tofu is heated through. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve hot with rice.
