Steps
If you have a whole cabbage kimchi, cut into smaller pieces.
Cut pork against the grain into bite size pieces.
Heat oil in a pot and saute the pork on medium high heat until slightly cooked.
Add the kimchi and sauté for another 7 – 8 min.
Add water, rice wine, chopped garlic, garlic powder and the dried anchovies (or anchovy stock packet). Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 30 min. Halfway through the simmer (15 min), taste the soup. If you think it could use some additional seasoning, add the red chili powder and gook kanjang. You can also add some the of the kimchi juice if you feel it is tasting a bit bland.

Anna Lee on 2024-06-22 (5 stars): Your recipes are always so helpful - I love the detail you give for substitutions or tweaks if something is not working. You are so thoughtful and thorough! Also, what a great idea you gave in your newsletter to use galbijim sauce in this. Thank you!
Benny Powers on 2024-06-22 (5 stars): Hi JinJoo,
This was on my ‘to do list’ for this weekend. I have 6-month old kimchi in a dark place on my countertop that has never seen the inside of my fridge! I’ll burp it one last time, then add it with my homemade pork stock. My wife and I like to fry up our Costco pork belly and add it in at the table. Fried Beef hotdogs are great in there as well…
Manga!

Rob on 2021-01-08 (5 stars): Another fantastic recipe. After your suggestion of making with mixed kimchee I I used half over ripe persimmon kimchee and half cabbage kimchee and it was really good.
Thanks again :)
