Ingredients

  • 1-2 cups of kimchi (Shannon uses the giant tub from Costco)
  • 1/2 package of firm tofu (cubed)
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 pound ground pork (optional, but delicious)
  • 1-2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar or another sweetener
  • 1-2 tablespoons of Chili Garlic Sauce (to taste)
  • whatever lovely veggies are in the fridge, chopped

Directions

  1. Get a wok hot and add the oil.
  2. Sauté the onion for a minute or two, then toss in the meat, kimchi, garlic, veggies, ginger, soy sauce and sugar. Simmer until cooked through.
  3. Add tofu at the end. Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes.
  4. Eat it as is, or toss it over rice.
  5. Add the Chili Garlic Sauce (or your favorite hot sauce) to taste.
  6. Optional variation: if in the mood for soup, add some chicken stock and turn it into a soup bowl on colder days!
