Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a medium pot or Dutch oven, combine the water, kimchi (including its juice for added depth of flavor), pork shoulder (or tofu), gochujang, sugar, and salt. (5 minutes)

02

Step
25 mins

Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and gently simmer until the pork is exceptionally tender, about 20-25 minutes. If using tofu, simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the flavors have melded. (25 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions. (2 minutes)

04

Step
0 mins

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional green onions. Serve hot with a side of steamed white or brown rice, if desired.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of sesame oil during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
Adjust the amount of gochujang to suit your spice preference. A little goes a long way!
Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.

    This recipe is fantastic! The instructions were clear, and the soup turned out perfectly. I especially appreciated the tip about using mature kimchi – it made a huge difference in the flavor.

  • Cedrick Powlowski

    I made this with tofu and it was still incredibly flavorful. The addition of sesame oil at the end was a game-changer!
