One thing you must know though, is that Buta Kimchi isn't just all about Kimchi. There's another important ingredient... which is Chogochujang (vinegared hot pepper paste). Usually people just use Gochujang (hot pepper paste), but I like Chogochujang because it gives it an added interesting flavour to the spiciness.
Time taken:
About 30 minutes
Ingredients:
300g pork belly (sliced)
1 ricebowl of Kimchi (chunked)
2 medium purple onions (thinly sliced)
1 tsp sesame oil
2-3 tbsp Chogochujang
1 tbsp soya sauce
1/3 ricebowl of water
200g enoki mushrooms (chop off the roots)
A few pea sprouts
Method:
- Heat and oil the pan with sesame oil. Don't need too much as the pork belly is really fatty.
- Make sure pan is really hot then add the pork belly layer by layer.
- Stir fry the pork belly, and when cooked add in the Kimchi and onions.
- Add in the Chogochujang and soya sauce.
- Continue stir frying for about 2-3 mins.
- Add enoki mushrooms and water.
- Turn the heat low and cover it for about 10 mins. This is to tenderise the pork and cook the enoki mushrooms.
- After you open the cover, add cornflour in water to the dish if the sauce is to watery to thicken it. The sauce should be a thick lovely red and cover all the ingredients evenly.
- Garnish with pea sprouts.
- Serve hot.
Warning though, this is a highly addictive dish! The boy loves it so I guess I will be making it more often :)
{Erm sometimes the Japanese serve it with mayonnaise. I don't like it like that, but you can try if you want to.}

When my Korean sister-in-law first came to America she would make huge batches of kimchi. My eyes would water just being near where she was working. She would get her hands in the bowl to mix ingredients and her hands would end up a startling shade of red from the heat! You brought back some fun memories for me!
thanks for all your lovely comments ladies!
jellybelly, May: homemade kimchi is the bomb!! wish I knew how to make my own :P but ya.. I usually buy the ready-made ones too.
My husband and all of his coworkers always go into New York City for fancy Korean food, and I swear all he talks about is how good kimchi is! I sent this link to him, he's probably going to make me cook it! Thanks for a yummy looking recipe!
