Now combine the stock with the soup ingredients except the tofu, noodles and prawns. Simmer gently for one hour over a very low heat.
Then add the noodles and cook for four minutes, followed by the prawns, then a minute later the tofu. Add in the kimchi and ham hock pieces. Ladle into suitable bowls and serve garnished with shredded nori.
