Do Bao Buns made from scratch with braised pork belly and pickled jalapeños count as Korean food?

    Looks super tasty.

    I know we try not to gate keep here, (fusion this, regionality that, language barrier), but what about this dish inspired you to post to r/KoreanFood?

    It looks more chinese, or fusion type of chinese dish to me. Many koreans don’t like or eat cilantro(no cilantro in korean dishes), bao bun is basically chinese which isn’t included in normal korean cuisine (most similar thing I can think of is hoppang, and that counts as sweet dessert/snack, not savory like this. Or there’s mandu in such bun and that’s called ‘chinese style mandu’ in korean) and I’m sure there’s braised pork belly dish in china too.
