Kimchi Pork Belly Stew

kimchi pork belly stewThe Kimchi Pork Belly Stew is a made of kimchi and pork belly as the title says. You can use any meat you like though, but following a Low Carb High Fat lifestyle, pork belly is eminent. If you don’t fancy, meat mushrooms will be a good substitute. I haven’t made the Kimchi myself yet but I would like to do so one day, recipe to follow. Ensure to buy a good quality of both pork belly and Kimchi. I know that many of the Korean restaurants often sell their Kimchi from the counter both in Canada and in the UK.
If you store kimchi in your fridge you would within 15 minutes have a hot and flavourful stew on a cold winter day. You just need veggies and tofu. If you’re following a STRICT LCHF diet, leave the tofu out and add another egg instead.

I recommend the Never Beaten Bun with a lot of butter and more salt. Furthermore the Cabbaliciuos Cabbage cold make a nice side dish and make it serve three instead.
