Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork Cheek

    In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and black pepper. Add the pork cheek meat and ensure it is well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed for consistent heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Pork Cheek

    Remove the marinated pork cheek from the refrigerator. Place it on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the meat is well browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the pork cheek from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice into thin pieces and serve garnished with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
