Kimchi-jjigae is a kimchi stew that has loads of flavour and lots of kick! You can add a variety of ingredients but for this one, we're going to add tofu, pork belly and green onions.
Ingredients

- 2 tbsp peanut oil
- 3 spring onions, white part sliced about 2cm thick, green part finely sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, diced
- 500g (17.6 oz) kimchi with the juice
- 2 tsp sugar

- 2 tsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 500ml (17 fl oz) chicken stock

Directions
Begin by placing a large pot over medium-high heat and add the peanut oil and diced pork belly. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, before adding the onions, garlic, and kimchi. Stir well and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes.
- Now add the white parts of the spring onions, sugar, salt, gochugaru, gochujang, and chicken stock. Stir well, cover the pot, and let it simmer over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the lid, add the sliced tofu, then replace the lid and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions and serve with steamed rice.
