  1. Wonderful! Jelisa was kind enough to post this at my request. I have to say it was exactly what I was hoping for. I didn't change a thing and it came out almost exactly as I was looking for. Next time, I may add a little more juice, but just a personal preference. This was perfect, thank you.
     
  2. I had this in a restaurant last week and loved it! This post was perfect. I did a bit of a variation on this recipe by browning the pork in sesame oil and adding green onions and tofu at the end. Turned out perfect. I had no idea that this was such a simple recipe. Thanks!
     
  3. this was delicious, and so easy to make! i used country style ribs and simmered this smothered in kimchee and the other ingredients for about an hour. the spiciness was just right and the ribs just melt in your mouth. this is a keeper
     
  4. My wife is Korean and I love finding a good recipe that amazes her. Even though I give you the highest props and 5 stars, She will never know. :) Thanks so much...
     
  5. I love this soup! I used thinly sliced pork chops and added some chopped green onions. Thanks for the recipe!
