Dinner Tonight: Zen’S Kimchi Jjigae Recipe

• 1/2 pound pork belly, skin removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1/2 pound kimchi, chopped
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 6 cups water
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• Salt

1. Place a large pot over medium high heat. When nice and hot, dump in the pork belly and brown quickly on all sides. Remove the pork, and then add the onions. There should be enough fat in the pan to cook the onions, if not add a little peanut oil. Cook the onion slices until they begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
2. Add the ginger, garlic, kimchi, and scallions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes or until very fragrant.
3. Pour in the 6 cups of water and return the pork to the pot. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 minutes.
4. Add the sugar and black pepper and stir. Season with salt if needed.
5. Serve piping hot with some white rice.
