Making Gochujang Pork Belly

 

I often grill pork belly, but I always end up with leftover pork belly, so today I'm going to use it to make a simple and delicious Gochujang Pork BellyThis recipe is a little strong for a side dish, so be warned, it's best served with rice.

 

Gochujang Pork Belly Recipe

 

Ingredients (for 2 servings with rice)

 

250 g pork belly, 5 garlic cloves, and a handful of scallions (can be omitted)

* Source material

2 T gochujang, 2 T mirin, 1 T sugar, 1 T red pepper flakes, 0.5 T oyster sauce, and a pinch of ground black pepper

 

The creation process

 

The first

 

Make the sauce ahead of time by mixing all the sauce ingredients together. Add the gochujang, mirin, sugar, chili powder, oyster sauce, and pepper and mix well.

 

The second

 

Sear the pork belly in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once golden brown on one side, flip it over and add the garlic to toast with it.

 

Third

 

When the bottom of the pork belly is golden brown, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Wipe off any excess oil with a kitchen towel for a cleaner flavor.

 

Fourth

 

Push the meat to one side of the pan, and pour the sauce around the edges of the pan. Tilt the pan to heat the sauce until it boils once.

 

Fifth

 

When the sauce sizzles, reduce the heat to low and stir to combine the pork belly and sauce. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes, tossing to prevent the sauce from burning.

 

Sixth

 

Add a handful of scallions and sauté for another minute. Arrange on a plate and serve. (You can omit the scallions and substitute other green vegetables.)
