Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients: Drain the soft tofu. Slice the pork belly. Chop the kimchi. Dice the onion. Separate the white and green parts of the green onion, then chop. Mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Heat sesame oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onion, minced garlic, and diced onion. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the pork belly and cook until it is browned, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the chopped kimchi and Korean chili flakes. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the kimchi is slightly tender and fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in the water (or anchovy broth), soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  6. 6

    Gently scoop large chunks of the soft tofu into the boiling stew. Add the shelled clams.

  7. 7

    Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  8. 8

    Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed (add more soy sauce or chili flakes to your preference).

  9. 9

    Just before serving, crack an egg directly into the hot stew. Garnish with the green parts of the green onion. Serve immediately and enjoy hot.
