PREPARATION

PREPARING THE BROTH

Follow the steps for recipe "Basic Asian Stock", which is in the dependent recipes section to the right. You'll need 2 quarts (8 cups) of stock for this recipe.

PREPARING THE SOUP

In a medium pot, heat the stock over medium-low heat.

Add the kimchi, mushrooms, ginger, scallions, and sesame oil.

Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until ready to serve.

PREPARING THE NOODLES

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles until tender, yet firm, about 5 minutes for dried udon and 10 seconds for fresh udon.

With a strainer, transfer and divide the noodles among large soup bowls.

COOKING THE PORK

Using the same cooking water as the noodles, cook the pork until opaque, about 1 minute.

Drain and divide the pork among the servings of noodles.

10.

Ladle 1 or more cups of broth with kimchi and shiitakes over each portion of noodles and served garnished with sesame seeds, if desired.

DEPENDENT RECIPES:

Basic Asian Stock (beef, pork, or chicken)

This dependent recipe has a "yields ratio" of 1. This means that for every 1 serving of the main recipe you're making, make 1 serving of the dependent recipe.

NOTES, TIPS, TRICKS, HINTS, ETC:

Choose a kimchi that has been made with Napa cabbage or a combination of Napa cabbage and daikon.

The soup stock should be as plain as possible because the kimchi and shiitakes will provide the flavor.
