Kimchi & pork ribs soup
This is a very warming soup with a little kick. Kimchi has a good amount of spice and adding gochujang gives a little additional kick. I love the addition of ribs, I think the fattness of it and the freshness of Kimchi works really well. If you can find, you can add some Enoki mushrooms, add it 10 minutes before you finish cooking. If your kimchi pieces are big, you can chop them into smaller, but I like bigger pieces in this soup and don’t forget to pour the juice from the kimchi jar as well!
Ingredients:
- 500 pork ribs
- 250g Kimchi
-2 Bok Choy
- 2 mediu size onions
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1 table spoon of gochujang
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
Prepare:
First we need to fry the pork ribs for a couple minutes, therefore heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the Dutch Oven and when the oil is hot, put the pork ribs one by one and fry one both sides for 2 minutes each. In the meantime chop two medium onions in half rings. Back to the dutch over - when you see a bit of browning on the ribs, take them all out and set aside. In the same Dutch Oven put the chopped onions and fry it in the meat juice from frying it. When the onions get translucent, put the ribs back in the pot and add 3 cups of water. Add 1 table spoon of Gochujang and whisk it so it spreads out evenly. Have the soup bubble and then lower it to simmer for 15min. In the meantime cut the Bok Choy into 4 peaces and after the soup have been simmering for 15minutes - add the Bok chok and leave it for 10 more minutes. After the 10 minutes the soup is done and you can serve it! You can eat it as is or with a side of rice. Enjoy!
