1. Recipe for kimchi soup with tofu and pork belly

Ingredients:
- Kimchi: 200 grams (with kimchi juice)
- Pork belly: 200 grams - Tofu: 2 blocks
- Shallots, spring onions, seasonings, sugar
Instructions:
- Thinly slice the pork belly and marinate with a pinch of seasoning.

- Finely chop shallots, wash and finely chop spring onions.
- Sauté chopped shallots until fragrant with a little oil, then add the meat and stir-fry until cooked. Continue to add kimchi and stir evenly to absorb the oil, then pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Since kimchi is already salty and spicy, you don't need to add much seasoning, just add a tablespoon of sugar to sweeten it. Simmer for about 3 minutes, then gently add the tofu, being careful not to crush it. Finally, add the spring onions to complete the soup.
