- 1 lb sausages sliced, farmers or kielbasa preferred, optional
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch ginger minced
- 8 cups chicken stock no sodium preferred, or vegetable stock
- 2 cups kimchi including juice
- 1-2 tbsp gochujang optional, see notes
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 head cabbage cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 carrots peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp green onions sliced, to finish
In a large pot, heat up a bit of oil over medium high heat. If using sausages, add the sliced sausages and cook until lightly browned on both sides, 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook until the onion is soft, 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth, kimchi with juice, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, cabbage, and carrots. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until cabbage is tender and to your taste. Taste and season with salt and pepper and enjoy warm!
Gochujang can be pretty spicy, about half as spicy as sriracha, so use it based on your own spice tolerance.
Estimated nutrition does not include sausages or gochujang.
