Second time making it with this recipe was even better than the first! I left out tofu at the end since it was plenty already, but I will probably toss it in during later meals. This time around, I followed the norecipes one.

The first step was to chop up the white onion, garlic, and fatty pork.
While sautéing the garlic, sliced onion, and pork belly a bit before adding water for soup, I chopped up the enoki and white button mushrooms.
Enter: the most crucial ingredient — kimchi! I added in the kimchi with some of the kimchi juice. While that was boiling up, I added in the gochujjang, miso, a splash of soy sauce, and rice wine.
Shortly thereafter, it was ready to eat! I had some rice cooking on the side once I had my mixture ready. I also bought some kim, or salted dried seaweed, because I love eating it with rice. Right before serving, I put in a slice of butter (yes, butter!) and some freshly cut scallions. Soooo delicious!
The above ingredients were plenty for 2 bowls. There are enough leftovers for probably 4 more servings.
