Samgyeopsal (Korean Grilled Pork Belly)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Samgyeopsal (literally "three-layer meat") is South Korea's national dish: grilled pork belly cooked and eaten right at the table. It's more than a meal; it's a ritual. Fatty, crispy meat cubes are wrapped in fresh lettuce (ssam) with spicy sauce, garlic, and rice, creating the perfect bite: a explosion of hot and cold, raw and cooked, rich and fresh textures.

Instructions

Keep pork strips whole.

Tip: In Korean BBQ, meat is cut into bite-sized pieces with shears *while* cooking to keep it juicy.
2 ✓

Heat the grill. Place pork on heat. Add garlic cloves and kimchi to the side to grill in the fat.

Tip: Garlic and kimchi fried in pork fat are delicious.
3 ✓

Flip when bottom is golden crisp. Cut into pieces with shears.

Tip: Render out the fat so the meat is crispy, not greasy.

Tip: The experience is about the combination of flavors in one mouthful.

Recipe FAQ

Why no marinade?
Classic samgyeopsal is unseasoned to highlight the quality of the pork fat. Flavor comes from the dipping sauces (ssamjang, sesame oil with salt) added at the table.
