Notes

Expert Tips

Boil the tofu so it's nice and warm. It also eliminates some of the soybean odor and tastes more clean. It's also softer when boiled or steamed.

Use old kimchi for the recipe. The more sour and fermented the kimchi is, the more fragrant this dish will be. The honey will balance out the super sour flavor.

Use authentic Gochujang (Korean Red Pepper Paste) for when stir frying the kimchi and pork to get authentic flavor. Substituting with other hot sauces like sriracha will not taste the same. It also might not mix well with the kimchi flavor.
