Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soaking aged kimchi in cold water for about 30 minutes ensures the broth becomes clean-tasting and refreshingly crisp.
  • Make sure to thoroughly stir-fry the ground pork until it breaks apart and develops a rich, fragrant flavor before adding the aged kimchi—this builds a deep, satisfying broth.
  • Using salted shrimp as the base seasoning gives a much more savory, umami-rich, and refreshing taste compared to using just salt or soy sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to transform leftover aged kimchi from the fridge into a gourmet dish.
  • People who enjoy a refreshing, spicy soup that pairs perfectly with a glass of soju.
  • Anyone wanting to easily prepare a hearty, protein-packed stew combining tofu, ground pork, and deeply flavored aged kimchi in one pot.
