Start preparing the soup by peeling the carrot and cutting it into thin sticks. Then we cut the onion into slices, peel the garlic and chop it finely, and cut the tofu into cubes.. In addition, we clean the mushrooms and cut them into slices.
Heat the oil in a large pot and add the onion and garlic. Fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Then add kimchi along with the liquid and mix thoroughly. We also add hot pepper and fry everything briefly. The next step is to pour the broth and bring it to a boil. Then we reduce the heat and cook the soup for about a quarter of an hour.
Meanwhile, cut the pork into small pieces. Add to the soup and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Add the carrots, mushrooms and tofu, mix everything and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally, add spices and soy sauce.
