Pork Belly Marinade

Rice

Method

Marinating the Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, gochugaru, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Add the pork belly to the marinade, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Pork Belly

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed.

  2. 4

    Grill the Pork Belly

    Remove the pork belly from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the pork is nicely charred and cooked through.

  3. 5

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice it into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 6

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 7

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  3. 8

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled pork belly on a plate alongside a generous scoop of jasmine rice and a portion of kimchi.

  2. 10

    Garnish

    Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
