This spicy Korean soup is great for a cold winter’s night in! It tastes even better the next day, and goes great with a side of rice.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped kimchi, with juice
  • ½ lb pork shoulder (or pork belly), cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp Korean hot pepper paste (Gochujang)
  • 5 cups water

  • 1 package of tofu, cut into bite sized cubes
