Pork and Kimchi Hot Pot

• 300 to 350 grams Pork (thin-cut belly, sliced pieces, etc.)
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tbsp each Soy sauce, sake
• 1 to 2 teaspoons Gochujang
• 1 clove/piece Garlic, ginger (grated)
• 1 Onion
• 250 to 300 grams Kimchi
• 1 block Tofu
• 300 to 400 grams Chinese cabbage
• 1 packet Shimeji mushrooms
• 3 to 4 Fresh shiitake mushrooms (if available)
• 1 bag Bean sprouts
• 1/2 to 1 bunch Garlic Chives (or green onions)
• 1 Pizza cheese
• 1000 ml Hot water or water
• 1 tbsp Chicken soup stock granules
• 1 tsp Iriko (dried little fish) dashi (or bonito dashi)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 as much (to taste) Korean chili pepper powder

1. Cut the pork into bite-size pieces, and season them by rubbing in the ingredients.
2. Cut the onion lengthwise along the grain into about 1 cm thick slices.
3. Cut the cabbage into half, then chop into about 4 cm pieces.
4. Slice the shiitake mushrooms diagonally into strips.
5. Cut off the shimeji mushroom stems and shred.
6. In a frying pan, add about half a tablespoon of oil and minced garlic and ginger, and saute well over medium to low heat.
7. Once it starts to brown, add the gochujang paste and stir together.
8. Add the pork.
9. Turn up the heat and once the coloring starts to change, add the onion slices and cook through.
10. It's done once you add kimchi and stir them well together.
11. Transfer the stir-fried pork and kimchi from step 4 into a clay pot moistened with water.
12. In the frying pan used for stir-frying, add the ingredients (without having washed the pan) and bring to a boil.
13. Once the soup is ready, pour it into the clay pot.
14. Add other vegetables and tofu to the pot and heat.
15. It's faster if you cover the pot.
16. Once the vegetables are cooked through, top with the chives to finish and bring to a quick boil.
17. When it's ready, eat together with the hidden pork and kimchi stir-fry at the bottom.
18. You can also add some Korean chili pepper powder if you'd like.
19. It's yummy to add in Chinese style noodles, but toasted mochi (rice cake) can be added too.
20. Once you've consumed about half of the meal, it's also tasty to add some pizza cheese and eat it as it melts!
21. Note I think it depends on the quality (material) of the clay pot and how you adjust the heat, but there may be a case in which it burns a little.
22. I didn't want to stir-fry in a clay pot, so I used a frying pan.
23. If you're using a pot other than a clay pot, it's easy to make if you place the other ingredients over the stir-fry from step 4 and pour soup over it.
24. Since the pork is flavored well and cooked through, it won't turn into wasted ground pieces but will stay delicious to be eaten.
