🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a satisfying, time-consuming kimchi stew at home quickly and easily.
  • People looking for a hearty dinner with soft potatoes and a bold, rich pork broth.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 500~600g pork neck
  • 2 cups chopped kimchi
  • water enough to cover pork neck about 1/3 of the way
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon jin ganjang
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 0.5 tablespoon chicken stock (or beef dashi)
  • 2 small potatoes
  • 2~3 green chili peppers
  • a pinch of black sesame seeds

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the pork neck into thick, large pieces as if preparing galbi-style stew.
  2. Place the prepared meat in a pan and add water just enough to cover about one-third of the meat.
  3. Add 2 cups of chopped kimchi, 2 tablespoons gochujang, 1 tablespoon jin ganjang, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon red chili powder, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic.
  4. Add 0.5 tablespoon chicken stock and mix thoroughly until all seasonings are well dissolved in the broth.
  5. Simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, gently cooking until the flavors penetrate the meat and it becomes tender.
  6. When the broth reduces to about half, add sliced potatoes and green chili peppers for extra spice.
  7. Push the potatoes down into the broth so they're fully submerged, then cover the pan and simmer again until the potatoes are soft and fully cooked.
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl, arrange attractively, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds before serving.
  1. In a pot, combine thickly sliced pork neck with enough water to barely cover, along with chopped kimchi, seasoning amounts, and chicken stock. Mix well.
  2. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Once the broth reduces, add potatoes and green chili peppers.
  3. Cover the pot and continue simmering until the potatoes are fully cooked, then finish with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.

Cooking tips 💡

  • You can substitute pork neck with thicker cuts of more affordable shoulder or leg meat.
  • If the broth reduces too much and risks burning, simply add a little water to adjust.
  • Adding half a spoon of chicken stock gives the dish a deep, rich flavor similar to long-simmered bone broth.
