Korean Grilled Pork Belly So Easy and Delicious!

Samgyupsal aka Grilled Pork Belly.

What could be easier?
1. Grill pork belly.
2. Place on top of a soft lettuce leaf
3. Top with ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste for meat), green chili, and garlic cloves
4. EAT!

You can use mild or spicy ssamjang, whatever works best for you. There is an assortment of ssamjang available on Amazon. If you'd like to purchase on Amazon please click here. Otherwise, you should be able to find it at your local Korean or Asian markets.

Frying Pork Belly

Pork belly is extremely fatty and greasy. I recommend that you use a griddle with a drip tray that catches the fat when frying your pork belly.

My Mom Made Me Laugh!

When I told my mom I was making grilled pork belly, she laughed and said she likes to watch videos of Korean people eating samgyupsal. She says they load up their lettuce leaves big time with the toppings and their mouths open so BIG to enjoy these! She made me laugh.

I think I'll make some more and try to emulate these Koreans. 🙂

Please try this delicious meal you will absolutely love this taste of Korea!

Course Main Course

Cuisine Korean

Servings servings

Equipment

Griddle with a drip tray This is preferred so that you have something for the fat to drain into.

Ingredients

1.75 lbs sliced pork belly can use up to 2 lbs for 4 servings
4 green chili peppers could use Korean green pepper, jalapeno, serrano, or whatever you fancy
ssamjang or spicy ssamjang use as much as you like!
several garlic cloves peeled
1 bunch lettuce leaves soft; suggestions are romaine, green, or red leafy lettuce

Instructions

Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Peel garlic cloves, and cut the green chili peppers into smallish pieces.
Heat your griddle to medium high. Fry your pork belly until browned on both sides. The longer you cook it the more crispy it will be so cook to your taste. You will need to fry in batches and once cooked drain on paper towels.
Assemble your samgyupsal. Place a slice of pork belly on your lettuce leaf, top with some ssamjang, garlic cloves and chilis.

Notes

Once you've assembled your Samgyupsal, eat to your hearts content! If you prefer to pile your lettuce leaves high with several slices of pork belly and the other items, it's perfectly acceptable! However you decide to create your Samgyupsal, just enjoy this fantastic taste of Korea!!!

Have you seen the Oscar Best Picture Winner of 2020, the Korean film Parasite?

I didn't know what this film was about before watching...however I knew that we weren't in for something "normal" because we have seen two films recently by the director Bong Joon-Ho which were NOT what we expected.

Korean Spicy Bean Sprouts

One of my favorite spicy foods is Korean Spicy Bean Sprouts!

I honestly do not know when my taste buds turned toward spicy. My belief is that that some people just have a tendency toward highly spiced foods....and my husband and I are of this tendency.

This is a good thing for our marriage! So there is generally no fighting over whether to have spicy food or not. 🙂

Korean spicy bean sprouts can be considered banchan. I almost LOVE the banchan (Korean side dishes) more than I adore the main meal itself!

A good friend of mine has an incredible green thumb! I am so fortunate to often be on the receiving end of that green thumb. The other day, she kindly brought me some amazing home grown cucumbers, chives, peppers, and perilla (sesame) leaves, which are all perfect for Korean banchan. So I'm so excited to be making some awesome Korean side dishes over the next few days!
