½ cup well-fermented kimchi (4 ounces), chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
1 tube of soft tofu (sundubu)

2. Reduce the heat to low and boil another 20 minutes
3. Remove from the heat and strain. It will make about 2 cups of stock.

Put it all together:
1. Heat up a 3 cup earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) on the stove over medium high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes. If you use a small heavy pan or pot, it will take less.

3. Add the pork. Stir for 3 minutes until the pork is no longer pink.
4. Add kimchi and keep stirring for a minute. Add ½ cup anchovy stock. Cover and cook for 7 minutes over medium heat.
5. Add the salt and the sugar and mix well.
6. Cut the tube of soft tofu into half and squeeze it out into the pot. Gently break up the tofu with a wooden spoon. If you want, add a few tablespoons of stock.
7. Put the hot pepper mixture on top and spread it with the spoon.
8. Crack the egg and put it on top, in the center of the stew. Let it bubble and sizzle for 1 minute.
9. Sprinkle with the chopped green onion and serve with rice and a few more side dishes.
