Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Stir-frying the chili powder and sesame oil in the pork fat first creates a chili oil-like aroma that eliminates any heaviness in the broth.
  • Be sure to add 0.3 tbsp of minced ginger to completely neutralize any pork odor and deliver a clean, refreshing flavor.
  • Lining the pot bottom with thickly sliced radish and onion prevents the kimchi from burning during cooking and adds a sweet vegetable depth.

Recommended for

  • Those who love the tender, pull-apart texture of aged kimchi jjim that falls apart at the touch of chopsticks.
  • Those craving a deeply savory, rice-stealing Korean dish finished with pork fat and a ginger kick.
