Kim Dae-seok's Grilled Marinated Crosshatched Pork Belly

Carefully eliminating the off-flavors and greasiness of pork belly with Korean hot mustard and cola, then generously filling the honeycomb cuts with a sweet-savory homemade marinade and slow-grilling it to perfection.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The Korean hot mustard-infused marinade effectively balances the richness and greasiness of pork belly, adding a sharp, lingering aroma that elevates the meat’s sophistication.
  • Always use crosshatched pork belly with closely spaced cuts—this ensures the marinade penetrates deeply into the meat within just 5 hours of marination.
  • The components in cola help tenderize the meat further, keeping it soft and juicy even when eaten cold later, preventing any toughness.
  • During the final grilling stage, the exterior easily burns, so gently shake the pan and carefully regulate heat over medium-low to avoid charring.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a premium, sweet-and-salty grilled pork belly experience as indulgent as a specialty BBQ restaurant, rather than regular grilled pork belly.
  • Anyone seeking to eliminate the typical porky odor and greasy texture with a clever, clean-tasting sauce.
  • Ideal for weekend family dinners or outdoor camping trips looking for a standout pork belly recipe that draws everyone’s attention.
