Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Thinly slice the pork belly or neck and then cut it into pieces
Step 2:
Cut the onion into half rings. (you can use both white and onion)
Step 3:
Cut kimchi into small pieces.
Step 4:
Cut the tofu into portions and set aside, we will need it at the end of cooking when serving.
Step 5:
Preheat the pan over high heat, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Step 6:
Lay out the pork and fry, stirring over high heat for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7:
Add the onion, stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Step 8:
Add mirin.
Step 9:
Then lay out the kimchi, mix well.
Step 10:
Add sugar, ground black pepper, ground hot red pepper (optional, the dish turns out to be spicy without it due to kimchi, but if you like it sharper, I recommend adding hot pepper), add salt.
Step 11:
Mix well and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Step 12:
Put fried pork with kimchi on a plate on one side, put tofu on the other side of the plate. Serve with boiled rice.
In this recipe, I cooked Tofu Kimchi with bacon, but I still recommend taking a pork neck, since the dish turns out to be quite greasy with bacon.
Kimchi is better to use already infused, but I usually cook from fresh kimchi that has been infused for a week, it does not have such a "fermented" taste and, in my opinion, it is less spicy.
Mirin can be found in various stores that sell Asian food. If you still could not find mirin, then you can replace it (I do this when I really want to cook such pork with kimchi, and mirin is not at hand). Take 20 ml of sake, dilute it with 25 ml of water and add 1 teaspoon of sugar, mix well. When cooking, all the alcohol from sake will evaporate.
Fried pork with kimchi turns out to be spicy and tofu in this recipe plays not only a taste role, but also the role of a "spice softener", rice also copes well with this.
I usually serve boiled rice with this dish or do without it, in rare cases when there is no tofu, I serve pork simply with rice.
When serving pork with kimchi, you can sprinkle sesame seeds on top and add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for taste, I also recommend chopped green onions and chopped chili pepper for more sharpness.
