Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Slice the onion into thin strips and chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a medium pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the pork belly or beef and stir-fry until it's slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the pot, cooking for another 2 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the kimchi and gochugaru, and cook for 5 minutes until the kimchi is softened and aromatic.

Step 5

Pour in the gluten-free soy sauce and mix well with the ingredients.

Step 6

Add the gluten-free chicken or vegetable stock to the pot, and bring it to a boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the tofu cubes and optionally, enoki mushrooms. Let the stew simmer for about 20 minutes.

Step 8

Season the stew with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 9

Finally, add the green parts of the chopped green onions just before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Gluten-Free Kimchi Jjigae hot with rice on the side for a complete meal.
