Instructions

1. Prep 1 lb Kroger Ground Pork ($3.99 sale). Thinly slice 8 oz Kroger Whole White Mushrooms ($2.79/8 oz), thinly slice 1/2 lb Jumbo Yellow Onion ($1.49/lb), shred 3/4 lb Green Cabbage ($1.49/lb), grate 1 tablespoon Ginger Root ($4.99/lb), mince 2 garlic cloves from 1 Garlic bulb ($1.50 each), chop 2 Green Onions ($1.50 each), and roughly chop 1 cup Seoul Original Kimchi ($6.99).
2. Wash 1 lb Red Potatoes ($1.29/lb), cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and place in a saucepan with salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer 10 to 12 minutes until tender. Drain, then return to the pot with 1 teaspoon oil and black pepper; cover to keep warm.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb Ground Pork and cook 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it up until browned.
4. Add the sliced 1/2 lb onion, 8 oz mushrooms, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pork. Cook 4 to 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and the onion softens.
5. Add the 3/4 lb shredded Green Cabbage and 1 cup chopped kimchi. Stir-fry 3 to 5 minutes until the cabbage is wilted but still has some bite. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil if you have it. Season with black pepper; kimchi usually brings enough salt on its own.
6. Fold in half the chopped 2 Green Onions. Taste and adjust with another spoonful of kimchi or soy sauce if needed.
7. Serve the kimchi-pork stir-fry over or beside the warm 1 lb boiled Red Potatoes, and top with the remaining chopped Green Onions. Pair with Pinot Noir or Gamay.
