Braised meat with kimchi
Use the fat rendered from searing the meat to sauté the onions on low heat until they turn golden, then add the meat and stir well. Arrange the meat in a single layer in the pan and place the kimchi on top.
Next, add the seasoning sauce to the pan so that the liquid covers the meat level. When the seasoning sauce begins to boil, add the chili and scallions, spreading them evenly over the surface of the pan.
Finally, cover the pan, reduce the heat, and cook for about 15 – 20 minutes until the liquid thickens and the seasoning is absorbed into the meat.

How to choose good pork belly
- Choose thin skin, white fat, and plenty of meat.
- Healthy pork usually has a light pink to dark red color.
- The meat is firm and elastic. Press your finger into the meat to create a dent but it does not leave a mark when you lift your finger. The meat fibers are even.
- Good pork belly, when bought and boiled, has clear water, large fat scum, and a fragrant smell of meat without any strange odor.
