Aging Kimchi Series 4: Effortless Kimchi Stew Made in an Electric Pressure Cooker
A hearty and flavorful kimchi stew, just like kimchi jjigae but richer. This recipe is incredibly easy to make using just your rice cooker.
Main Ingredients- 1 whole head of aged kimchi, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 500g pork (pork belly or neck recommended)
- 4 cups water (approx. 800ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place the pork at the bottom of the electric pressure cooker’s inner pot. This prevents the meat from sticking and helps to create a richer, more succulent stew.
Step 2
Next, generously layer the cut aged kimchi on top of the pork. The seasoning from the kimchi will meld with the meat, developing a deep, savory flavor. Finally, pour in 4 cups of water, ensuring the ingredients are submerged.
Step 3
Select the ‘Multi-Cook’ or ‘Steam’ function on your electric pressure cooker (the ‘Cook’ function can also be used) and cook for 40 minutes. The pressure will tenderize the ingredients and allow the kimchi’s complex flavors to fully infuse the stew.
Step 4
Once the cooking cycle is complete, open the cooker to reveal the deliciously tender and flavorful kimchi stew. The pork will be moist, and the kimchi will be perfectly soft, making it ideal for serving with rice.
Step 5
Serve piping hot over steamed rice for an incredibly satisfying meal! This kimchi stew is wonderfully simple yet yields impressive results. It’s sure to make your dinner table shine tonight.
