Kimchi Jjigae (Korean Kimchi Stew)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 4 ounces pork
• 2 cups cabbage kimchi (also use 1/4-3/4 cup of juice from kimchi to taste)
• 1/2 tablespoon dashida (more or less according to your taste)
• water
• salt

Directions

1. 1

   Cut up the pork into bite size pieces.

2. 2

   Heat the two oils in pot and add the pork.

3. 3

   Sautee the pork until done.

4. 4

   Cut up the kimchi into 2 inch pieces.

5. 5

   Add the kimchi and juice to the pot.

6. 6

   Add enough water to cover the ingredients.

7. 7

   Add the Dashida seasoning.

8. 8

   Bring the stew to a boil.

9. 9

   Reduce the heat to medium-low to medium (the stew should be simmering at this point).

10. 10

    Simmer until the kimchi is cooked (it takes me about 20-40 minutes depending on the stove). The kimchi should be tender when done.

11. 11

    Season with salt if needed. I normally don't, because the Dashida seasoning has salt in it.

12. 12

    Serve with rice.
