Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • ½ pound pork belly, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 2 cups prepared dashi stock

  • 1 cup kimchi, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chile paste)

  • 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean chile powder)

  • ½ (12 ounce) package tofu, cut into 1/2-inch squares

  • 1 cup zucchini, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 small onion, sliced

  • 2 green chile peppers, sliced

  • 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir garlic into pork mixture and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Stir dashi stock and kimchi into the pork mixture; bring to a boil. Stir in gochujang and gochugaru; simmer until stew is thickened slightly, about 20 minutes.

  3. Stir tofu, zucchini, onion, and green chile peppers into the stew; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with green onion.

Cook's Note:

If you can't find some of the ethnic ingredients, look for grocery store substitutes: there's bound to be something close to it.
