Kimchi Stew with Chicken, Tofu and Mushrooms

Tried a new recipe...Very tasty if you enjoy Kimchi as much as I do.


Kimchi Stew with Chicken, Tofu and Mushrooms

4 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
5 cups (1.25 L) chicken stock
2 cups (500 mL) shredded cooked chicken leg meat (from 2 large legs)
1-1/4 cups (310 mL) Napa Cabbage Kimchi (see previous recipe)
1 cup (250 mL) (250 mL) sliced plain Korean rice cakes
1/2 lb. (225 g) silken tofu, diced
2 tbsp (30 mL) mirin or 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar, or to taste
Salt to taste
1/2 cup (125 mL): thinly sliced green onion (dark green parts only)
1 cup (250 mL) (250 mL) each: trimmed enoki mushrooms, pea or bean sprouts

Place shiitakes in medium bowl. Cover generously with boiling water. Weigh down mushrooms with saucer. Soak 30 minutes, flipping once. Drain and gently squeeze out excess water. Trim and discard stems. Thinly slice caps. Set aside.

In medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, until lightly golden, 5 minutes. Add stock, chicken, kimchi and shiitakes. Let mixture slowly come to simmer over medium heat. When bubbling, add rice cakes and tofu. Cook until rice cakes are soft, 2 minutes. Stir in mirin or sugar to taste. Season with salt, if necessary.

Ladle into warmed bowls. Garnish with green onions, enokis and sprouts.

Makes 3 to 4 servings.

Jorge Luis Borges - Google Doodle

"Truly fine poetry must be read aloud. A good poem does not allow itself to be read in a low voice or silently. If we can read it silently, it is not a valid poem: a poem demands pronunciation. Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song."
- Lecture entitled "The Divine Comedy," 1977

Jorge Luis Borges

The 112th birthday of Jorge Luis Borges, the famed Argentinian author known for his works that explored dreams and unreality, has been celebrated with a colourful Google Doodle.
