Step 1
Slice the 1.5 lb pork belly into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Slice the 1 large onion into 1/2-inch rings. Pat the pork dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 tbsp vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Place the pork slices in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding.
Step 3
Cook the pork for 4-5 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy at the edges. Season with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the onion rings and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and char slightly.
Step 5
Add the 2 cups kimchi to the skillet with the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kimchi is heated through and slightly caramelized.
Step 6
Return the pork to the skillet and toss everything together for 1 minute to combine. Serve hot, with extra kimchi on the side if desired.
