Method
Pork Belly and Cabbage
1
Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the lard. Add the pork belly strips and fry until they are deeply browned and have rendered most of their fat, about 8 minutes.
2
Lower the heat to medium. Toss in the chopped kimchi and the tamari soy sauce, stirring constantly to scrape up any browned pork bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes until the kimchi becomes fragrant and begins to caramelize.
3
Fold in the fresh chopped napa cabbage. Cover the skillet and let it steam in the pork fat and kimchi juices for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage collapses and becomes tender and translucent.
Finishing
4
Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle with sesame oil and scatter the sliced green onions over the top before serving hot directly from the pan.
