Korean Pan-fried Pork Belly Recipe

Samgyeop-sal means “three layer flesh” in Korean, referring to striations of lean meat and fat in the pork belly that appears as three layers when cut. Belly is used a lot in Korean cooking and this happened during Japan’s ruling over Korea when Japan considered belly as a by-product so this was left in Korea. Nowadays, most people enjoy this dish at Korean BBQ restaurants.

Today, I am introducing a version of Pork Belly that’s pan-fried and can be consumed without having Korean BBQ. My recipe is based on spicetheplate‘s recipe. I love this dish, as the taste is a bit sweet with a hint of spiciness. This recipe is very easy and if you are a planner (meaning you have marinated the meat beforehand) then you can have a plate of pork belly ready in 10 minutes.

Instructions

1. Collect all ingredients. I normally don't cut the pork bellies, I prefer to cut them with a scissor when they are cooked.
2. Marinate the pork belly with garlic, Korean hot pepper paste, honey, soy sauce and sesame oil for at least 20 minutes.
3. Heat anti-stick pan over high heat and when the pan is heated switch to medium-low heat. Place the pork belly on the pan and pan fry each side for about 4-5 minutes.
4. Cut the pork bellies with a scissor used for cooking and put it on a plate. Add some toasted white sesame seeds on the pork bellies and enjoy ^^!
