Korean Kimchi Soup



Ingredients:
*3/4 cup of lean pork or beef (replace with tofu if you want to decrease the fat content)
*5 cups of sliced kimchi, drained
*1tbs of sugar
*1tbs of hot pepper flakes
*1tbsp of gochujang (use less to reduce the spiciness)
*1tbsp of sesame oil
*Two heads of green onions, minced
*3 cups of water
*3/4 cup of lean pork or beef (replace with tofu if you want to decrease the fat content)*5 cups of sliced kimchi, drained*1tbs of sugar*1tbs of hot pepper flakes*1tbsp of gochujang (use less to reduce the spiciness)*1tbsp of sesame oil*Two heads of green onions, minced*3 cups of water

Methods:
In a deep pot, place the chopped kimchi, hot pepper flakes, green onions, gochujang, and sugar. Turn on the heat and fry them for a couple of minutes. Next, pour in the water so it covers all of the ingredients. Let it boil for 30 minutes. Next, add the sesame oil and meat of your choice and let it simmer for five to ten minutes, or until the meat is tender. Turn off the heat and let it cool for several minutes before serving.
To lessen the "hotness" of Kimchi stew, use one more cup of water, forgo the gochujang, and load up on the meat. Let it simmer for slightly longer to let the flavor penetrate the meat.


To reduce the calories, replace meat with tofu. Chop the tofu into small cubes and let it simmer until it is falling apart. Skip the sugar.
