Steps:
- Slice the pork into extremely thin slices, then transfer to a large bowl. This works best when the pork is super cold or partially frozen.
- 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.
- Sprinkle a bit of sesame seeds on top, then serve with rice!
- Enjoy!

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.

Steps:
- 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!

HERB SAMGYUPSAL (KOREAN GRILLED PORK BELLY)
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:
- Choose the right cut of pork belly. Look for a cut that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the pork belly is tender and flavorful.
- Score the pork belly. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and cook it evenly.
- 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.
