Korean Grilled Pork Belly Bbq ("samgyeopsal")
Instructions
Make pajori (green onion salad)
Shred about 3 bunches of green onions to make 5 cups. Soak it in cold water.
In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbs hot pepper flakes, 2 ts sugar, 1 tbs sesame seeds, and 1 tbs sesame oil. Set it aside.
Drain the shredded green onion.
Add the green onion to the bowl and mix it with the sauce. Set aside.
Make ssamjang (soybean paste dipping sauce)
Combine these ingredients in a small bowl with a spoon until mixed well:
1/4 cup soy bean paste
2 tbs hot pepper paste
1 stalk of chopped green onion
1 clove of minced garlic, 2 ts honey (or sugar)
2 ts sesame seeds
1 tbs sesame oil.
Prepare vegetables
Wash and drain a head of lettuce.
Cut a carrot, a green chili pepper, some mushrooms into bite size pieces and put them on a plate.
Slice 2 dozen pieces of garlic and put them next to the carrot strips.
*tip: cut each garlic lengthwise a few times
How to cook:
Heat up your grill plate.
Put a little sesame oil on the hot plate so your pork belly doesnt stick.
Cover the grill plate with belly, turn it over often so it doesnt burn.
As it gets ready to eat, take it off the plate and set it aside, or keep eating and grilling!
How to eat:
Put a piece of belly on a lettuce leaf.
Add a piece of garlic, some ssamjang, and a little pajori.
Fold the lettuce leaf over so you have one little package.
Pop it into your mouth in one shot.
*tip: dont bite it in half, it will break open
