Cooking tips

  • Searing the skin side of the pork belly first helps render out excess fat, resulting in a chewy yet firm texture.
  • Always remove the seasoning from the inside of aged kimchi before using it to prevent the broth from becoming overly thick or heavy.
  • To balance the sharp tang and strong aroma of aged kimchi aged over two years, add 1 tablespoon of sugar as a balancing agent.
  • To ensure even distribution of seasoning without splattering, slowly pour the broth into the gaps around the edge of the pan rather than directly onto the meat.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a premium recipe to neatly use up leftover aged kimchi at home.
  • People who enjoy succulent pork belly stew with rich, meltingly tender juices.
  • Anyone seeking a deep, spicy, and savory stew that rivals restaurant-quality flavors.
