My breakfast this morning is a favorite, Pork and Kimchi Stew! 
This recipe comes from Sunset Magazine. I often use left-over, cubed pork roast. This morning I added some fresh cabbage to the onion, garlic saute. Fresh ginger root stores really well in a ziplock in the freezer, very easy to peel and grate while still frozen.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame or coconut oil
1 pound boned country pork ribs, cut into 1/2-in. pieces
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped ginger

1 1/2 cups kimchi (Korean-style fermented cabbage)* with some juice, coarsely chopped
1/2 to 1 jalapeño chile, thinly sliced (optional, leave out if you don't like heat)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Salt and pepper
8 ounces silken tofu, cut into 1-in. cubes
3 green onions, sliced
