Recipe 🍳
- Alternate one piece of kimchi and one strip of pork belly, stacking them neatly to a consistent thickness.

- Arrange the cut pieces tightly and attractively around the edge of the nabe pot.
- Fill the empty center of the pot with your choice of mushrooms or vegetables.
- In a bowl, mix water, udon soup base, gochugaru, minced garlic, doenjang, and pepper to make the broth.
- Pour the prepared broth into the pot until it comes about halfway up the ingredients, then bring to a boil over high heat.
- As it boils and the liquid reduces, gradually add the remaining broth until the ingredients are fully cooked.
- Finally, top with thinly sliced green onion and let it boil once more before serving.
- Stack kimchi and pork belly alternately, cut into bite-sized pieces, and arrange neatly in a pot.
- Fill the center with mushrooms and vegetables, then pour in broth made with udon soup base and doenjang, and boil.
- Replenish the broth as needed while boiling, then finish by adding green onion.
Cooking tips 💡
- Maintaining a 1:1 ratio of kimchi to pork belly ensures the perfect balance of savory meat and refreshing kimchi.
- Using the liquid soup base from store-bought udon noodles gives the dish a deep umami reminiscent of Japanese nabe without the hassle of making dashi.
