      1. Step 1: Begin by placing a large pot over medium-high heat and add the peanut oil and diced pork belly. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, before adding the onions, garlic, and kimchi. Stir well and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes.
      2. Step 2: Now add the white parts of the spring onions, sugar, salt, gochugaru, gochujang, and chicken stock. Stir well, cover the pot, and let it simmer over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes.
      3. Step 3: Remove the lid, add the sliced tofu, then replace the lid and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions and serve with steamed rice.
