1 ½ lb boneless pork shoulder, or pork belly, chilled or frozen for easier slicing
½ onion, sliced into thin strips
3 stalks green onion, sliced into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
¼ cup korean red chili paste, gochujang

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Add in all of the ingredients besides the canola oil, then mix until the pork and the vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade.
  • Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a pan over high heat, add pork, being sure not to crowd the pan, stir-fry the pork in batches until slightly crispy on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. If you're using pork belly, cook for a bit longer, around 6-7 minutes.

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds pork belly
5 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons sake, or any good white wine
2 tablespoons mirin
1 cup gochujang, Korean fermented red chile paste, available at Asian specialty stores or online
1 large onion
3 scallions
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Marinade: The day before cooking, slice pork belly into bite-size pieces: 2-inch squares, ¼-inch thin. (Note: Cut the pieces thinner than shown in the video.) Set aside. Smash and peel the garlic, then finely chop. Use the flat part of your knife to press down on the garlic to further break it down, then continue to mince. Place in a mixing bowl along with the pork, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and gochujang. Mix the ingredients together and set aside.
  • Peel and trim the onion, then slice in half. Cut each half into thin half-moon slices. Place the sliced onions on top of the pork mixture, but do not mix. Cover the bowl with plastic and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Garnish: Prior to cooking, trim and discard scallion roots. Fill a bowl with water. Line up scallions in a flat, even layer and use a sharp knife to cut them thinly, employing a slicing motion, not a chopping motion. (Slicing with minimal pressure will keep the scallions bright and vibrant.) Place sliced scallions in water and move around to remove impurities. Drain in a colander, then wrap in a clean towel and squeeze out remaining liquid. Spread scallions on a paper towel-lined plate to further dry while cooking the pork.
  • Pork: Remove marinated pork from refrigerator and mix in the onions. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, 1 minute. Add ½ tablespoon oil and continue heating, 30 seconds. Add some of the pork and onion mixture in an even layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Lower heat to medium and let the pork cook undisturbed until caramelized on one side, shaking the pan occasionally, 4-5 minutes. Flip meat over and cook the other side, 3-4 more minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining pork in batches. Garnish with scallions and serve with white rice.

HERB SAMGYUPSAL (KOREAN GRILLED PORK BELLY)



Herb Samgyupsal (Korean Grilled Pork Belly) image

I accepted samgyupsal (grilled pork belly, aka thick bacon) into my late-night diet of soju and beer outings while living in Seoul. The best thing about samgyupsal is that there is little or no marinating involved. You just need to cut it into bite-size pieces and cook it on the stovetop. Enjoy with a variety of lettuce varieties (red leaf lettuce, Boston bibb, frisee) and rice.

Tips:

  • Marinate the pork belly for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will help the flavors to develop.
  • Cook the pork belly over medium heat. This will help to render the fat and crisp up the skin.
  • Serve the pork belly with your favorite sides, such as rice, kimchi, and grilled vegetables.

Korean BBQ pork belly is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender meat, crispy skin, and flavorful marinade, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
