Dad had a couple of friends over for drinks. I prepared some side dishes for them to go along. One of the dishes is Kimchi Pork with Tofu. Tofu is refreshing and healthy (lower cholestorol apparently). Place some of the kimchi mixture on top of the tofu, the whole combination is appetizing….Yummy! They loved it!🖒🖒💖💖
