Monday's Bread Bowl: Kimchi Pork Stew

A peppery stew

We like this pork stew for its very spicy kick thanks to the addition of spicy kimchi sauce.  Here’s the recipe:

What you will need:

1 wooden spoon

1 large stock pot w/ lid

3 tablespoons cooking oil

½ yellow onion, chopped small

3 garlic cloves, diced

1 ½ lbs pork shoulder, cut into chunks

½ cup kimchi sauce (aka kimchi base)

1 ½ cup water

Salt and Pepper to taste

Cooking and Directions:

Heat pot on medium-high heat.  Add oil, salt, pepper, onion and garlic.  Sautee ingredients until onion turn translucent.  Add pork pieces to the pot.  Let pork brown for 5 – 8 minutes.  Turn pieces.  Add water and cover with lid.  Let ingredients reach slow simmer then lower heat to medium-low.  The ingredients should braise for 20 – 25 minutes.  Next, mix kimchi sauce into the ingredients then cover with lid.  The ingredients should braise for another 20 minutes or until the meat reaches the desired tenderness that fits your taste.  Then it’s ready to serve.
