Grilled Pork Belly

Samgyeopsal

Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork belly (thick sliced)
• 1 head Lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
• 6 cloves Garlic (sliced)
• 3 stalks Green onion
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Gochujang
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• ¼ teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. Slice pork belly into ⅓-inch thick slices if not already pre-sliced. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Make the dipping sauce (ssamjang): mix 2 tablespoons gochujang, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Set aside.
3. Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over high heat until very hot. No oil needed — pork belly has plenty of fat. Cook the slices for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
4. At the same time, grill sliced garlic on the side of the pan until golden. Slice green onion into a bowl with soy sauce for a second dipping option.
5. To eat: place a lettuce leaf in your hand, add a piece of grilled pork, a dab of ssamjang, a slice of grilled garlic, and wrap it up. Eat in one bite.
