Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb pork belly slices and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through.
- Step 2: Add 1 cup shredded kimchi, 2 tbsp gochujang paste, and 1/4 cup soy sauce. Stir to combine, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes until pork is tender and sauce thickens.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Gently crack 6 quail eggs into the water and poach for 4-5 minutes until yolks are runny. Drain and set aside.
