Ingredients

  • 1. A dash of dried thyme
  • 2. A sprinkle of dried dill weed
  • 3. A hint of dried rosemary
  • 4. A touch of garlic powder
  • 5. Two pounds of succulent pork belly strips
  • 6. A generous cup of chopped kimchi
  • 7. Fresh cloves of garlic, peeled and separated from the bulb
  • 8. Three vibrant scallions (pajori), finely chopped
  • Ssamjang Dipping Sauce:
  • 1. Two tablespoons of authentic doenjang (Korean soybean paste)
  • 2. Two tablespoons of flavorful gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), adjust to your preference
  • 3. A drizzle of aromatic sesame oil
  • 4. Two cloves of garlic, minced to perfection
  • 5. A sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture
  • 6. A touch of rice wine for depth of flavor
  • 7. A hint of brown sugar for a touch of sweetness

Step 1

Combine a delightful mixture of thyme, dill, rosemary, and garlic powder in a small bowl, ensuring to coat both sides of each succulent pork belly strip. Allow the flavors to meld together at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes.

Step 2

In a generously sized skillet placed over medium-high heat, sear the pork belly strips until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color, roughly 7 minutes on each side. Once cooked to perfection, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels, keeping some of the savory grease in the skillet. Proceed to slice the strips into bite-sized portions for convenient serving.

Step 3

Utilize the remaining flavorful grease in the skillet to sauté the kimchi, garlic cloves, and scallions over medium-high heat until they develop a slight caramelization, typically around 3 minutes. Once done, pat them dry on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Prepare a delectable ssamjang sauce by combining doenjang, gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, sesame seeds, rice wine, and brown sugar in a bowl, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors.

Step 5

To serve, present the tantalizing pork belly strips alongside the sautéed kimchi, garlic, scallions, and the luscious ssamjang sauce for a truly delightful culinary experience.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by properly marinating the pork belly with a mix of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Make sure to massage the marinade into the meat for maximum flavor absorption.
  2. 2. Once marinated, tightly wrap the pork belly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. This will help prevent any leakage of juices and keep the flavors locked in.
