Pork Belly

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern, ensuring you do not cut into the meat. This will help the fat render and the skin crisp up.

  2. 2

    Mix the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Season the Pork Belly

    Rub the pork belly generously with salt and black pepper. Then, coat the scored skin with half of the gochujang marinade.

  4. 4

    Roast the Pork Belly

    Place the pork belly on a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy.

  5. 5

    Baste with Marinade

    Halfway through the cooking time, brush the pork belly with the remaining marinade to enhance flavor.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice into pieces and serve with lemon wedges.
