Spicy Kimchi Stew with Pork

The importance of kimchi, which accompanies nearly every Korean meal, cannot be overestimated. This traditional condiment is made by fermenting vegetables, such as napa cabbage, radishes, or cucumbers, with chiles, ginger, green onions, garlic, and oftentimes anchovies. Ripe and fully fermented kimchi is added to give this popular Korean stew a richer flavor.
