Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • pork shoulder meat 500g

  3. Add 500ml of water until the meat is submerged by about two-thirds.
  4. Pour in store-bought chicken stew seasoning sauce to taste.
  5. Once the water begins to bubble vigorously, cover the pot tightly and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes to fully soften the meat and kimchi.

  7. Simmer the broth over medium heat until it reaches your desired thick, chunky consistency.
  8. Add finely chopped green onion, 1 stalk, and green chili pepper, 2 pieces, and stir briefly to combine and lightly cook through.
  9. When the broth has reduced to the right thickness, sprinkle with sesame seeds and finish.
  1. Place pork shoulder meat at the bottom of a pot, then add kimchi, 500ml water, and chicken stew sauce. Bring to a boil.
  2. Once boiling, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
  3. Uncover, chop ingredients, add green onion and green chili pepper, then reduce the broth until thickened, finishing with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Use pork shoulder or belly with a good balance of fat and lean meat—this ensures tenderness even after long simmering.
  • Adding plenty of green onion enhances the dish’s refreshing crispness and subtle sweetness, helping to counterbalance the richness of the kimchi.
