kimchi soup

Korean cuisine is one of my favourite at all time especially Kimchi soup.

A delectable, spicy traditional soup full of kimchi, tofu, veggies, and pork. My absolute favorite Korean dish of all time.

It goes extremely well with rice... hmmm...

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 teaspoon Korean sesame oil
1 cup cabbage pickle (Kimchi)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 pound boneless pork, sliced thin
3 cups water
1 scallion, cut into 3-inch pieces
1 firm chinese soybean curd, cut into 9 cubes
6-8 small clams, optional but recommended

METHODS

1 Put the sesame oil in a saucepan and stir-fry the kimchi over moderate heat for 1/2 minute. Add the garlic and pork and continue to fry as the meat changes color.
2 Now add the water, bring to a boil, and cook for 10 minutes. Add the scallion, bean curd, and clams if used, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes more.
3 Serve warm with rice.
