The Story Behind Our Favorite Comfort Food: Kimchi-Wrapped Pork Belly with Sunmi Kimchi
Like many of you scrolling through TikTok or Instagram late at night, we stumbled upon a mesmerizing food reel that stopped us mid-scroll. It was a sizzling, juicy clip of pork belly being wrapped in kimchi. Simple, bold, and completely mouthwatering. That one video sparked a kitchen experiment that quickly turned into a favorite comfort food in our home.
We took the idea and made it our own, using Sunmi Kimchi, our go-to for bold, craveable flavor. There’s something magical about how easy this dish is to put together. Just a few ingredients, minimal prep, and you're on your way to something unforgettable. Wrap the rich, fatty pork belly in the spicy, tangy kimchi, place it in a pan with a few extra ingredients, and let it slowly simmer. That’s it.
But here’s the best part: the sound. The simmering in the pan and the gentle bubbling as the kimchi caramelizes around the meat. It’s pure ASMR and makes you want to dig in immediately. The aroma fills the kitchen, and the wait becomes almost excruciating. But the moment you take that first bite, you know it was worth every second.
It’s a must ASMR listen. Turn up the volume & enjoy.
When it’s finally time to eat, the pork belly is melt-in-your-mouth tender. The Sunmi Kimchi delivers a spicy, vibrant punch that cuts through the richness with just the right amount of tang and crunch. It’s the kind of meal that satisfies on every level, especially on a rainy day when you’re craving something warm, cozy, and full of flavor.
We love sharing it with friends and family, served with a steaming bowl of rice and good conversation. And yes, we still scroll through food reels for inspiration. But now, every time we see pork belly and kimchi, we smile. Because we know how simple and soul-satisfying it is to make it ourselves, especially with Sunmi Kimchi in the mix.
