Instructions

1
In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add the diced pork belly and canned pork. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned and the fat has rendered.
2
Add the kimchi to the pot and stir-fry with the pork for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Add the chopped onion and pour in the water.
4
Season the stew with soy sauce, sesame oil, and beef stock powder. Stir to combine.
5
Add the gochujang and gochugaru, stirring well to fully incorporate them into the broth.
6
Gently add the block of soft tofu to the stew. Use a spoon to break it into large, rustic chunks.
7
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for at least 5-10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
8
Serve hot, with a side of steamed white rice.
