The Ninja Foodi Kimchi Jjigae
Notes for Next Time:
The Sour Factor: If your kimchi is very sour, increase the sugar by 0.5 tsp. If it's very fresh/new, add an extra 0.5 tsp of rice vinegar.
Liquid Level: If the dumplings soak up too much broth next time, you can safely bump the water to 700ml without losing flavor.

Pressure Lid: Align the pressure lid and turn the valve to SEAL.

Step 2
The Dumplings & Tofu
Sauté Mode: With the lid off, press SEAR/SAUTÉ and set to Level 3.
Dumplings: Add the dumplings to the boiling broth. If frozen, simmer for 5–6 minutes.
Tofu: Add the tofu cubes during the last 3 minutes of the dumpling simmer time.
Step 3
The Shabu Finish
Flash-Cook Pork: Add the pork belly shabu. Stir constantly with chopsticks for about 60 seconds until the meat is no longer pink.
Top & Stop: Crack the 2 eggs directly onto the surface. Sprinkle 2/3 of the green spring onions.
The "Off" Rest: Press START/STOP to kill the power. Lower the hinged Air Fryer lid (without turning it on) and let the pot rest for 2 minutes
Step 4
Serve
Ladle into deep bowls over white rice.
Garnish with the remaining fresh spring onion greens and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil if you have it.
