Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork belly
- 2 tablespoon gochujang
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Begin by combining the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and black pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Stir the mixture well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, creating a flavorful marinade.
- Add the sliced pork belly, onion, and green onions to the marinade. Toss everything together, ensuring the pork belly and vegetables are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator, to allow the flavors to meld and penetrate the meat.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. No need for additional oil, as the pork belly will render its own fat. Transfer the marinated pork belly mixture to the hot skillet and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the edges are crispy. For the crispiest results, let the pork sit undisturbed for a few minutes between stirrings.
- Once the pork belly is cooked to perfection, transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish the dish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and additional sliced green onions. Serve the Healthy Korean Pork Belly Skillet hot, accompanied by steamed rice and your favorite Korean-inspired side dishes, such as kimchi.
