Kimchi & Pork Jjigae Udon Recipe – A Korean Spicy Udon Soup with Pork

Jjigae Udon - Spicy Noodle Soup

This is one of my favorite dishes! Don’t let the list of ingredients scare you. This is such an easy dish to make and very tasty, especially if you like spicy food. Whenever I am craving a spicy meal, this is my go to dish. The photo doesn’t do it justice, so you are going to have to trust me on this one, but there is a reason it’s my favorite dish.

I use thinly sliced pork belly in this recipe. You can usually get it either at a Japanese grocery store or a Korean grocery store. They look like this:

I used Shimeji mushrooms for this recipe. I usually get one at WholeFoods, a Japanese grocery store, or a Korean grocery store. It’s an optional ingredient and you could also use Enoki mushroom, Shiitake mushroom or Eringi mushroom instead, but they look like this:

Instructions
 

Preparation:

Instructions :

  • Add Garlic Powder, Gochujang, Miso, Chicken Bouillon Paste, Kayanoya-no-Dashi, Oyster Sauce, Sesame Oil, and Japanese Ichimi Red Peppers in the stone bowl.
  • Add water to the stone bowl.
  • Mix water and ingredients well.
  • Bring the stone bowl to a boil by starting with the lowest heat to avoid damaging the bowl. (IMPORTANT!)
  • Start boiling water in a pot for boiling Udon noodles.
  • When the water starts boiling, add Udon noodles into the pot and boil for 1-2 mins. Occasionally, try to loosen the Udon noodles with a cooking tool (I prefer the most versatile tool, chopsticks).
  • Once the Udon noodles are boiled, drain the water over a colander and let the Udon noodles rest in it.
  • When the soup begins to boil, add each piece of pork belly one by one into the stone bowl (do not place all at same time).
  • Add Konjac
  • Add Shimeji mushrooms
  • Add Kimchi
  • Add spring onions
  • Add your Udon noodles into the bowl. Put a lid on the stone bowl and keep boiling for about 2-3 mins. Adjust the heat level if necessary (to avoid overflowing).
  • Add a raw egg into the middle of the stone bowl carefully and keep boiling until the egg hardness is to the level you desire.
