Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 cups chopped kimchi

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

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

  • 1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), cubed (Optional)

  • ¼ cup kochujang (Korean hot sauce) (Optional)

  • 1 (12 ounce) package silken tofu

  • 1 (3 ounce) package enoki mushrooms

Directions

  1. Combine kimchi, water, sugar, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir in pork belly, luncheon meat, and kochujang. Add tofu and mushrooms; stir carefully so you don't break up the tofu. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until kimchi is softened and pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Use any kind of tofu you prefer.
