Kimchi Chigae

the korean craze has many countries a decade ago..till today, i catch myself sometimes secretly wishing i was korean..and many times i find kimchi chigae so comforting, so here's how i do mine

slice 3 stalks of green onions diagonally into 2-inch length
slice 1 large shallot
mix 1 tablespoon of gochujang, 1/2 tablespoon of doenjang paste and 1 teaspoon of red pepper powder

Heat some oil in a pot, stirfry the green onions and shallots till fragrant
add in about 1 cup of kimchi and 1 tablespoon of kimchi juice
put in sliced protein of choice - here i'm using thinly sliced pork loin
add in the paste mixture and stir it into the ingredients till nicely coated
add in enough water to cover ingredients and stir to ensure paste is dissolved
bring to a boil, add it the cubed tofu and serve at lava hot temperature

i usually have my kimchi chigae with rice dunked into the hot soup (coz that's how koreans in those k-dramas do it)..yummeh!
