Pork and Kimchi Soup Recipe

Tuesday, June 02, 2009 | Labels: , , | 21 Comments »

It is spring but days are still overcast and cloudy not to mention colder than I remembered during this time of the year! Nothing makes me feel better than sipping a hot bowl of wholesome soup - I thought kimchi soup would be a good alternative as it is also spicy! Of course, watching the actors in my current Korean drama cooking and eating it all the time might be also influencing my sudden cravings!

Kimchi is a staple food in Korea - and kimchi can consist of cabbage, cucumber, carrots and a myriad of other vegetables pickled in salt, garlic and fermented fish paste (usually). The flavour of kimchi is rather strong and might be overwhelming to some at first, but I have definitely grown to love the flavour and kimchi soup is delicious and heartwarming to say the least. In addition, this recipe does not require a long boiling time but just under 1 hour. In traditional Korean soups, minced garlic may also be added which is really quite different from Chinese soups, or at least Cantonese soups - I don't think one usually adds garlic to the best of my knowledge.

The vegetables in the soup are not set in stone - you can be creative and use whatever you have in your fridge (within reason of course). Cooking is really a fun thing to do, experiment a little and you might just come up with something you love!
