Delicious Herb Samgyupsal
This dish features succulent pork belly marinated in a blend of herbs that truly invigorate the meat, making it wonderfully aromatic and juicy.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound pork belly, sliced into thick pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Fresh herbs (like rosemary and thyme), finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: lettuce leaves for wrapping
- Optional: sliced vegetables for grilling (like zucchini and mushrooms)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, honey, and freshly chopped herbs. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the pork belly slices to the marinade. Ensure that each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but if you have more time, a few hours would be even better.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, remove the pork belly from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place the slices on the grill.
- Grill the pork belly for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are perfectly charred and crispy.
- While the pork is grilling, you can use the reserved marinade to brush onto the meat or grill some vegetables alongside it for a delightful side.
- Once the pork belly is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the grilled pork belly with lettuce leaves for wrapping and drizzle with extra soy sauce or serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your meal!
