I made this last night with some changes. First, I used ground pork instead of pork belly. Then I took the vegetarian filling and added it to the pork because why not! Plus I do this when I make shumai and I love to use dried mushrooms. I wrapped everything up nicely In the traditional kimchee I made a few months ago. Finally, the bottom of the pan I added korean yams to the onions. Pilled everything into my Dutch oven and bam a delicious one pot meal. I love all your recipies Maangchi. Thank you for teaching this Cuban lady how to make Korean food! I make it all the time!
Thanks for this recipe Maangchi! I just made it and it is WONDERFUL. I can’t stop eating the parcels of spicy yumminess. xx
Maangchi,
This recipe is AMAZING! I followed it exactly, and it was absolutely delicious! May I suggest more tofu recipes, and more seafood recipes? You could start with a new seafood sundubu jjigae video! The best of both worlds! You are the best!!!!!
Thanks for this great recipe! I cut down the time because it got a little burnt my first time, but the kimchi was really tough to chew and I ended up having to eat it separately from the meat. Do you think this is because of the brand of kimchi I bought, or because I cut down the cook time?
Didn’t need a full recipe. Just made two rolls to go in my earthenware bowl from the Korean market. Tossed some salted shrimp on top. Will let you know how it goes. First time trying this recipe.

That photo was before cooking. It came out fantastic! A bit earthy and salty from a bit of doenjang I added during cooking. Just delicious. Just plain Calrose rice was perfect. I will definitely make this for my family and friends.
This reminds me of two dishes my grandmother used to make: stuffed cabbage and rouladen (sliced meat rolled around vegetables and then braised in meat broth). I’ll have to try this, and then maybe I can come up with a fusion version :)
I’ve made this recipe a few times and decided to expirement. Took some kimchi and sliced it into pieces, then made a rose out of them. I used green onions to make leaves. Thank you so much Maangchi for this recipe! It’s ones of my absolute favorites!!!!

Yes, your kimchi rose idea is very creative! It looks very tasty!
This looks insanely delicious! I’m going to make it later this week with the kimchi I made over the weekend. Would pork back ribs work well with this recipe since there isn’t pork belly in the grocery stores near me? Also can I make this in a Dutch oven since I don’t have a shallow pan with a lid like you use? :) ive been wanting to make something like this for months, since I watched a K-drama called Late Night Restaurant. Always makes me hungry.
“Would pork back ribs work well with this recipe?” Yes, it will work well, too and dutch oven sounds great!
Maangchi ,
i m so hungry watching this video , it looks so delicious . Looks like i won’t be able to make this since my kimchi that i made was chopped kimchi , not the whole kimchi like in your video . But i think , this is similar to kimchi stew wouldn’t it ? with kimchi , onion , garlic , gochujang and pork belly ? yes ? no ?
Olivia,
Yes, it tastes similar because the main ingredients are kimchi and pork belly!
Korean Sarma! I love this dish so much, and now I have an excuse to try a Korean variant.
Wow, Maangchi! Talk about putting a new twist on the eastern European cabbage roll. Can’t wait to try these. And I love the skirt comment! Cute!
for the first time!

I want to try this, but first I want to try making my own kimchi! I hope I have time soon. I’m going on vacation in a few days and then I go back to school a few days after I get back so this might have to wait until winter holidays.
Wow, just looking at it already made my mouth water. I can’t wait to make this dish. I made a fresh batch of kimchi just 2 weeks ago. So just got to wait patiently.
Thanks for the recipe Maangchi ssi.
Ima.
Thanks maangchi! I have 90 pounds of baechu kimchi in my fridge currently.
Cheers,
MaJie (馬傑/마걸)
Haha, I had to read your message twice, we happen to have the same name! I am Spanish, but I have a Chinese name because I study Chinese and I lived in China for a while, so I adopted 馬傑 as my Chinese name :-D :-D Now, I’m happy because I also know my Korean name: 마걸.
90 pounds of kimchi! What’s going on there MaJie? : )
