Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 3 tablespoons soybean paste, doenjang
  • 1 tablespoon korean chili paste, gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb fresh pork belly
  • perilla leaf
  • red leaf lettuce
  • 3 jalapeñoes, sliced into rounds
  • 10 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Make the ssamjang: In a medium bowl, stir together the soybean paste, chile paste, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and sugar.
  • Make the salt & pepper sesame oil: In a small bowl, stir together the salt, sesame oil, and pepper.
  • Heat a Korean barbecue griddle or large pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, rub a piece of pork belly around the pan to grease with the melted fat, then arrange the pork belly in the pan in a single layer, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until the pork belly is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C), 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Cut the pork belly into bite-size pieces using kitchen shears, then arrange on a plate with the perilla leaves, red leaf lettuce, jalapeños, and garlic. Serve with the ssamjang and salt & pepper sesame oil.
  • Enjoy!
