  3. Cut the pork belly into pieces. After washing and soaking in cold water, there was no blood left, so I didn’t use hot water again

  6. Put the casserole on the fire and cook slowly over low heat until a small amount of juice is left. My soup was a little dry this time. In fact, you don’t need to boil the soup dry because the bibimbap will be delicious later

  7. After turning off the heat, cut some green onions and put them into the pot, then put them into a large pot and simmered for 20 minutes

  8. It's done after simmering. Simmer over low heat to enhance the flavor. Stew over water to make the meat and chestnuts softer. In fact, I think chestnuts are more delicious than meat in this dish
