Kimchi Jigae Recipe (Yield: 4 servings)

Ingredients:
900ml Anchovy Stock or Water
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
Spring onion for garnish
200 grams pork belly
400 grams Old Kimchi (cut into bite size pieces)
1/2 tbsp gochujang (use more if you want it spicier)
1/2 tbsp gochujaru (use more if you want it spicier)
1 pack enoki mushroom
1 pack soft tofu
1 pack sundubu (silken tofu)
Fish sauce and pepper to taste

Procedure:
1. Soak a handful of dried anchovies in 900ml water for 30 minutes. Simmer for 10 minutes after soaking. Strain and set aside anchovy stock.
2. Saute garlic and onion in a pot until onion is translucent.
3. Add the sliced pork belly and saute for a bit. Add about 1 tbsp fish sauce and saute further. Add some ground pepper as well.
4. After the pork belly starts to have some browning, add the kimchi and saute until most of the liquid has evaporated.
5. Add the gochujang and gochujaru and saute for a bit then add the anchovy stock.
6. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the pork belly is tender. Take a taste test and adjust accordingly. If the kimchi is not as sour, you may add a tiny bit of sinigang mix to make it a little bit more sour. Some kimchi, even the old ones are not as sour so you may need to adjust it a bit. The taste you are aiming for is a balanced mix of spicy, sour, savory.
7. Once you are satisfied with the taste, add the soft tofu and simmer for about 3 minutes. If you are using soft tofu bought from Korean specialty stores, do not wash it and use directly from packaging. Do not include the brine in the packaging. If you want to use ordinary tofu from common markets, you might need to keep it in a brine solution to prevent it from soaking up the taste of the soup base when added.
8. Add the enoki mushrooms and sundubu and simmer for another 3 minutes.
9. Garnish with the spring onion. Serve while it is hot. Enjoy!

Note: I just used soft tofu and sundubu together because I have both in my pantry. Normally, you only use one kind of tofu for this recipe but it is up to your preference. I studied how to cook this because stores from food delivery apps priced this dish at around 400 pesos but it is not that complicated to cook and the ingredients are easily available so I rather cook this recipe instead.
