  • Well-fermented Kimchi (preferably outer leaves) – 1 whole head

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

The foundation of a delicious Pork Wrapped in Kimchi Stew lies in great ingredients! Prepare the kimchi using its outer leaves – well-fermented and slightly sour kimchi, perfect for stewing. Cut the pork neck into pieces about 1.5cm thick. Cutting them too thin might cause them to break apart during cooking, so a substantial thickness is key.

Step 1

Step 2

Now, let’s wrap the pork neck with kimchi. Spread out a kimchi leaf, place a piece of pork neck on it, and then tightly roll the kimchi leaf around the pork, ensuring there are no gaps. Using the thicker stem part of the kimchi can help secure the roll and maintain its shape.

Step 2

Step 3

Heat a pan with a little cooking oil. Place the kimchi-wrapped pork rolls in the pan, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Sear them until they develop a light golden-brown color on all sides. This step seals in the juices and adds a wonderful savory depth to the pork.

Step 3

Step 4

Arrange the seared pork and kimchi rolls attractively in a pot or deep pan suitable for stewing. Pour in 2 cups of broth or water, and add 2 ladles of kimchi juice. The kimchi juice will significantly enhance the umami flavor.

Step 4

Step 5

If you have any leftover small pieces of pork, tuck them in between the rolls in the pot to cook along. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes to let the pork cook partially.

Step 5

Step 6

While the pork is simmering, let’s prepare the delicious sauce. In a bowl, combine gochugaru, gochujang, guk-ganjang, mirin, oligodang, minced garlic, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Step 6

Step 7

After simmering for about 10 minutes, pour the prepared sauce evenly over the contents of the pot. Cover again and continue to simmer over low heat for another 10-15 minutes. This allows the kimchi and pork to absorb the flavors of the sauce. The stew is ready when the sauce has thickened and glistened beautifully.

Step 7

Step 8

Finally, garnish with chopped scallions for a fresh, vibrant finish. Your delicious Pork Wrapped in Kimchi Stew is complete! It’s incredibly satisfying served with a bowl of warm rice.
