Sam's Club Style Kimchi Pork Roll

Replicate Sam's Club signature cheesy kimchi pork roll at home with a golden, crispy crust, stretchy mozzarella, and a savory spicy pork filling.

Ingredients

• 300 g all-purpose flour
• 3 g salt
• 10 g sugar
• 15 ml corn oil
• 90 ml water
• 60 ml milk
• 200 g pork belly
• 150 g kimchi
• 100 g mushrooms
• 2 tbsp Korean-style mixed rice sauce
• 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1Combine the dry ingredients

   

   Add the flour, salt, sugar, and corn oil into a clear glass mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together until the oil is evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

   Tip: Thoroughly mixing the corn oil into the flour before adding liquid helps create a tender, flaky texture in the final dough.
2. 2Knead the dough

   

   Slowly pour in the water and milk while stirring. Once a shaggy mass forms, use your hands to knead the mixture directly in the glass bowl until it becomes a smooth, elastic dough.

   Tip: Add the liquids gradually. Depending on the brand of flour, you may need slightly more or less liquid to achieve the right consistency.
3. 3Blanch the pork belly

   

   Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully drop the raw pork belly pieces into the hot water to quickly blanch them, which helps to remove excess fat and impurities.

   Tip: Blanching should only take a couple of minutes—just until the outside of the meat changes color.
4. 4Sauté the filling ingredients

   

   Add sliced mushrooms into the pan along with the blanched pork belly and kimchi. Stir-fry everything together thoroughly, then mix in a small amount of Korean-style mixed rice sauce to elevate and deepen the flavor profile of the savory filling.

   Tip: Make sure to stir-fry the kimchi well with the pork and mushrooms so the flavors meld before wrapping.
5. 5Roll out the dough

   

   After the dough has proofed, transfer it to a white cutting board. Use a wooden rolling pin to flatten and shape the dough into an even rectangle.

   Tip: If the dough springs back while rolling, let it rest for another 5 minutes to relax the gluten.
6. 6Assemble the filling onto the dough

   

   Take the proofed dough and roll it out into a neat rectangular shape. Spoon the cooked kimchi and pork filling in a line down the center of the dough sheet, and generously sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese right over the top.

   Tip: Keep the filling centered so it is easier to roll up tightly without spilling out the sides.
7. 7Roll and seal the log

   

   Carefully lift and roll the dough sheet over the filling to form a compact log shape. Press and pinch the edges firmly to seal the seams completely so the cheese and filling stay securely inside during baking.

   Tip: Ensure the seams are pinched tightly shut to prevent any melted cheese from leaking out in the oven.
8. 8Add sesame seeds

   

   Place the assembled and rolled dough logs onto a foil-lined baking sheet, then generously sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each log to add a nutty flavor and texture before baking.

   Tip: Make sure the seam side is facing down on the baking sheet so the rolls stay securely sealed during the baking process.
