Steps
Place the cubed pork shoulder, kimchi, chicken broth, gochujang, and minced garlic in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven. Season lightly with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that the kimchi and gochujang are already seasoned.
Stir thoroughly so the gochujang dissolves into the broth and coats the pork. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the liquid just to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the kimchi has softened. Do not allow the stew to boil; adjust the heat as needed to maintain only a gentle simmer, since boiling can make the pork stringy and chewy.
Taste the stew and adjust the salt and pepper. The finished broth should be savory, spicy, and slightly tangy, with pork tender enough to pierce easily with a fork.
Ladle the stew into bowls. Garnish with chopped scallions and, if desired, drizzle with toasted sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with steamed short-grain rice.

The source specifically advises maintaining a gentle simmer rather than a boil. Serve with steamed short-grain rice; scallions, sesame oil, and sesame seeds are optional garnishes.
