Kimchi Gyoza Nabe

Langkah-langkah

1. Gather all the ingredients.

2. Cut ¼ onion into wedges and then cut them half.

3. Cut the white part of 1 Tokyo negi (long green onion)

4. Cut 4 leaves napa cabbage into small pieces.

5. Cut 1 inches daikon radish into quarters lengthwise then thinly slice them.

6. Cut 2 inch carrot into thin slabs and cut them in half.

7. Cut 5 stalks garlic chives (Chinese chives or Nira) into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces.

8. Discard the bottom of 1 package shimeji (brown beech) mushrooms and 2 shiitake mushrooms. Optionally, you can cut a flower pattern on the shiitake mushroom caps called shiitake hanagiri.

9. Cut 7 oz soft/silken tofu (kinugoshi dofu) into roughly 1½-inch (4-cm) cubes. Tip: It’s harder to fish out from the hot pot if you cut the cubes too small.

10. Heat 2 tsp toasted sesame oil in a hot pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it’s coated with the oil.

11. Add 1 cup kimchi and stir-fry with the onion and Tokyo negi.

12. Add 1 Tbsp sake and 2 tsp gochujang (Korean chili paste).

13. Add 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes) and 2 tsp sugar. Mix it all together well.

14. Add 4 cups chicken stock/broth, and cover the lid to bring to simmer.

15. Once simmering, lower the heat to medium low. Add 2 tsp soy sauce and 2 Tbsp miso. It’s best to dissolve the miso in a ladle with a small amount of soup first instead of dropping the miso in the pot and not know if it has dissolved completely. Taste the soup and adjust the taste by adding salt (I added ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt), if necessary.

16. Add the hard vegetables to the soup first, such as the daikon, carrot, tough part of napa cabbage, etc. Cook covered for 10 minutes on low heat.

17. Skim off the foam and fat. Add the soft ingredients such as the leafy part of the napa cabbage, mushrooms, and tofu.

18. Add 10 pieces gyoza (if frozen, no need to defrost) and the garlic chives on top.

19. Cook covered over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Serve the extra ingredients on a plate and add them once you finish the ingredients in the pot.
