Experience the ultimate comfort food with this Pork Belly Kimchi Rolls Stew, requiring no additional ingredients for its perfect flavor. It’s slightly spicy from the chili peppers and wonderfully refreshing, making it a truly satisfying meal.
Ingredients- 6-7 leaves of Kimchi (well-fermented kimchi recommended)
- 400g Pork Belly
- 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (Korean red chili)
- 1 Tbsp Sugar (adjust based on kimchi’s sourness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today’s stars are kimchi and pork belly! Prepare 6-7 leaves of well-fermented kimchi, 400g of fresh pork belly, 1 Cheongyang chili pepper for a touch of heat, and 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance the kimchi’s tanginess. (Tip: If your kimchi is very sour, you might want to add a bit more sugar.)
Step 2
The secret to a great Pork Belly Kimchi Roll is the kimchi itself. Using aged, fermented kimchi (mukimchi) will give you a deep and rich flavor. Sadly, this was my last batch of mukimchi. I’ll have to make kimchi fried rice with it next time!
Step 3
Slice the Cheongyang chili pepper diagonally to add a pleasant spiciness. You truly don’t need any other fancy ingredients for this dish; the harmony between kimchi and pork belly is all you need!
Step 4
Let’s start rolling! Lay a piece of pork belly flat, then place a sheet of kimchi on top. Carefully roll them together tightly. If the roll isn’t holding its shape, you can secure it with a toothpick for a neat presentation.
Step 5
In a pot, create a base layer with some extra kimchi. Arrange the rolled pork belly kimchi rolls on top. If your kimchi is particularly sour, sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of sugar over the kimchi in the pot to mellow out the acidity.
Step 6
Now, let’s cook this delicious stew! Pour 2 cups of water into the pot and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for another 3 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 7
Finally, add the sliced Cheongyang chili pepper and let it simmer for a moment longer. Your spicy and refreshing Pork Belly Kimchi Rolls Stew is now ready!
Step 8
Amazingly, no extra seasoning is needed! The natural flavors of the kimchi and pork belly create a perfectly balanced and deeply satisfying taste.
Step 9
Your mouth-watering Pork Belly Kimchi Rolls Stew is complete! Served over a bowl of hot rice, it’s a guaranteed mealtime hit.
