Kimchi stew or kinchi jjigae(김치찌개)

  I love kimchi stew. And I will recommend Kimchi stew, if someone like to taste hot and spicy Korean food. It is easy to make, hard to fail.
 If you have too many Kimchi and it starts to became sour, you must try kimchi stew cause it taste better when it is made by sour kimchi.

Ingredients
must-have: 
a quater plants of kimchi, 200g of pork with some fat, sugar
good to have: onions, green onions, tofu, soy sauce, hot pepper flakes
special tool: electric pressure cooker

How to cook
1. Place kimchi and pork in a pot. If your pork lacks of fat, add one table spoon of vegetable oil. If  your kimchi is too sour or not tasty enough, add one table spoon of sugar.
    If you have onion or tofu, place it on the top.
2. Pour water. If you use electric pressure cooker, you may not add water but the juice from kimchi. Set the menu to any kinds of 'zzim(찜)' or 'steam', set the timer as 30-40 minute.
Now forget it and do something else till the alarm of cooker calls you.
2-1. If you do not have electric pressure cooker, boil it over a high heat until it start boiling. Once it starts boiling, keep boiling about one hour over medium heat. Pour more water if you need.
You can eat kimchi stew if the pork got cooked enough, however, I recommend take some time.
3. Add some green onions or hot pepper flakes as you like. If you feel slight bitterness from your kimchi stew, or think it need to be more salty, put one table spoon of soy sauce.
Enjoy your kimchi stew with rice!
