Ingredients

Steps

  1. Fry the pork in the oil until browned, then add the kimchi for 3 minutes.

  2. Stir in the gochugaru and garlic for 30 seconds so the oil turns red.

  3. Add the stock and soy sauce and simmer 8 minutes.

  4. Spoon in the tofu in large curds and simmer 5 minutes without breaking it up.

  5. Crack in the eggs, cover for 2 minutes, and top with scallions.

Serve it still bubbling — the egg finishes cooking at the table.

Food safety Cook pork to 71°C / 160°F; the eggs stay soft, so cook them fully for anyone vulnerable.
