Kimchiguk (Kimchi Soup)

Three weeks staying in Qatar, Doha was not sufficient for me to comment anything about their food. But I had tried my best to explore the whole city and what I can say is, city of Doha is in a super fast pace of developing. Well, there is not many Asian from Malaysia or Singapore, so they are lacking when come to Asian Groceries Shop... I still can't find any! May be, until I move there by end of the year, I can tell you more about the city. Every times when come to change no one like it, especially me. There are many mental hurdles which we need to push away to move forward. Are you brave enough? We are fearless when we know God has placed us where we should be.

I bought this 日本木炉 Japanese Hot pot to cook this Korean Kimchi Soup or Kimchiguk. The cast iron pot on top is so lovely, does it has a feel like eating in the Korean restaurant? ^_^ The pair of silver chopstick and spoon was a gift from friend.  


This round I'm using thinly sliced pork in the soup, you can use beef as well. If you have homemade kimchi is the best, if not just go for store bought one will do the job also. If you like super spicy food, add two heaps spoonful of gochujang paste! It is so yummy to go with warm rice!  I'm submitting this post to Little Thumbs Up as the theme for this month is Soy Beans.

Ingredients:
200g chopped kimchi
1 stalk of spring onion, cut into shorter length
1 heap tbsp of gochujang paste
1/2 box of tofu, cut into medium size cubes
1/4 quarter of white onion, thinly sliced
100g of pork, thinly sliced (use the one with some fat is the best)
200ml water

Method:
1. Add chopped kimchi, onion, gochujang paste and water into the cast iron pot, place the pot on heat. When the water start boiling, add the meat, tofu and spring onion. Let it boiled for another 3 mins or until the meat is cooked.
