Blogwatch: Kimchi Pork Belly Pizza
As a Korean-American, I am definitely in the pro-kimchi camp. If you're not in my spicy, fermented camp, then please don't friend me on Facebook. I won't defriend you for a Whopper, but for kimchi? All bets are off.
Marc, of No Recipes, is definitely in my kimchi camp. He combines classic ingredients from Korean and American culture to create kimchi pork belly pizza, a tasty amalgam of spice, fat, pork, and dough. Just don't kiss anyone afterward. Unless you really love them. Then again, kimchi breath is nothing to be ashamed of.

Well, I don't know about kimchi pizza, but I do dearly love kimchi. I eat it as is, tossed into ramen, mixed with rice, I make rice balls with it. When I was in high school, a few friends and I used to go to this kimchi place (I'm sure it wasn't only a kimchi place but that's all we cared about) a couple blocks from school for lunch. We'd pig out, go a couple blocks more for manapua (steamed buns) and then hightail it back to school. We stank. We didn't care. It was awesome.

Let's just throw anything on a piece of flat bread and call it a pizza.
Hahaha! Kimchi pizza, indeed.

Let's go for a German pizza: Sauerkraut, Sauuerbraten and Head Cheese.
Hahaha!

Kimchi was stolen from China. Now Koreans get all the credit. Boooo. :P
That picture kind of looks like Peking Duck pizza. Even thought it's not...it'd probably be so good if you drizzled hoisin sauce on it.

@wunami Stole from the Chinese? Are you for real? Yeah, cuz I see so much kimchi in Chinese cuisine.

To get the story straight, Kimchi wasn't taken from China. When Korean ancestors moved to Korean peninsula, they just came with it. It is true that Chinese do have a dish called 'Kimchi' and it is almost identical to Korean version. Just because we have spaghetti in America today, that doesn't mean American stole it from Italian. :-)
