Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey or sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and rice vinegar until well combined.

Step 2

2. Marinate the pork belly: Add the sliced pork belly to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 3

3. Preheat the grill or skillet: Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 4

4. Cook the pork belly: Grill or pan-fry the marinated pork belly slices for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice char. Be careful not to overcrowd the grill or skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 5

5. Serve immediately: Transfer the cooked pork belly to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice, lettuce wraps, or your favorite Korean side dishes.
