Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 pound thinly sliced fresh pork belly, cut into 2-inch strips
3/4 pound kimchi
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the pork in a single layer and cook over high heat, turning once, until crisp, 6 minutes. Drain the pork on paper towels and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the skillet. Add the kimchi and stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the pork and toss. Stir in the soy sauce and transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with the sesame oil and garnish with the scallion.

Serve With

Steamed rice.

Suggested Pairing

Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in Japan, but only a few Japanese brands are widely available in the U.S. Kirin Ichiban, a citrus-edged lager, is refreshing with the spicy kimchi and fatty pork.
