Kim Ho-yoon's Pork Kimchi Jjigae

Cooking tips 💡

• Thoroughly stir-fry the pork fat in cooking oil to extract the lard before stir-frying the kimchi; this imparts a rich, deep flavor to the stew broth.
• Instead of adding all the water at once, simmer first with a small amount of water to reduce the liquid; this mellows the kimchi's acidity and tenderizes the meat much faster.
• Adding a little minced ginger perfectly eliminates any pork odor and creates a spicy yet clean broth flavor.
