Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- pork belly 150~200g
- chopped kimchi 1.5 cup
- doenjang 1 tablespoon
- jung ganjang 1 tablespoon
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- gochugaru 1 tablespoon
- square fish cake 1~2 pieces
- onion 0.5 medium
- green onion 1 handful
- water 1.5 cup

Recipe 🍳
- Place 150~200g of pork belly and 1.5 cups of chopped kimchi in a pan, adding them generously.
- Sauté together until the pork belly is lightly cooked and its rich fat begins to seep out, caramelizing the kimchi.
- Once the pork turns white and fully cooked, add 1.5 cups of water.
- Add 1 tablespoon each of doenjang, jung ganjang, sugar, and gochugaru, mixing thoroughly to build the seasoning base.
- Cut 1~2 square fish cakes into bite-sized squares and add them, along with a handful of sliced onion and green onion.
- Simmer over medium heat until the broth becomes thick and sticky, and the seasonings deeply penetrate the ingredients.
- Turn off the heat when the broth reaches a thick, savory consistency, then generously sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to finish.
- Sauté pork belly and kimchi in a pan until the meat is cooked through and releases its fat.
- Add 1 tablespoon each of water, doenjang, jung ganjang, sugar, and gochugaru to form the seasoning base.
- Add fish cake, onion, and green onion, then gently simmer until the broth thickens, finishing with a generous sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- Since this dish is meant to be served piled high on a bed of white rice and mixed thoroughly, avoid using too much water—simmering it down to a thick, clingy consistency is key to the flavor.
- Choose high-quality fish cakes with a high meat content to prevent them from breaking apart during cooking and to maintain a firm, chewy texture.
