Warm Kimchi Tofu & Spam – A Comforting Korean Classic Reimagined
Experience the warmth of true Korean comfort food with our Warm Kimchi Tofu & Spam. This hearty, flavour-packed dish brings together house-made kimchi, pork belly, Spam, soft tofu, and fresh spring onion in perfect harmony. Each bite combines savoury richness with a gentle heat, offering comfort that feels both familiar and fresh.
A Delicious Blend of Heat, Savour, and Texture
Our chefs stir-fry house-made kimchi with pork belly and Spam until the flavours deepen and caramelise beautifully. As the sauce thickens, it releases a smoky aroma that fills the air. Then, we add soft tofu, allowing it to absorb all the spicy, tangy goodness. Finally, a touch of onion and spring onion adds crisp freshness, balancing the dish with every bite.
Why You’ll Love It
1. Authentic Korean Flavour, Elevated: We use house-made kimchi, carefully aged for depth and tang, to create a truly authentic base. Combined with rich pork belly and savoury Spam, the dish captures the bold, umami-driven character of classic Korean comfort food while adding a refined modern touch.
2. Perfect Balance of Textures: The soft tofu introduces a silky, soothing texture that contrasts beautifully with the chewy pork belly. Meanwhile, the fresh onions and spring onions provide just the right amount of crunch, giving each mouthful a lively balance of textures.
3. Comfort with a Contemporary Twist: Inspired by traditional kimchi stew and budae jjigae, this version feels both nostalgic and new. It’s hearty enough for a full meal, yet light enough to share with friends over drinks or other small plates.
4. Made for Sharing: Served warm and aromatic, this dish invites everyone to gather around. Pair it with steamed rice, a glass of soju, or even a cold Korean beer to enhance its savoury richness. For a complete meal, add one of our signature sides for extra depth and variety.
