Sticky Kimchi Pork Belly

5 from 1 review

This quick and easy pork belly dish is the epitome of maximum flavour, minimum effort. It comes together in one pan using just four ingredients, yet delivers far more than the sum of its parts. Rich, punchy and deeply savoury, it’s perfect spooned over rice or wrapped up in crisp lettuce cups.

Tip: For the best balance, use a sour, well-fermented kimchi from the supermarket fridge section. The shelf-stable kind tends to be overly sweet and lacks the acidity and depth this dish needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g pork belly strips
