Kim Dae-seok's Pork Belly and Napa Cabbage Steamed Dish

Pork belly marinated with soju and a touch of brown sugar to eliminate any gamey odor, steamed with crisp soybean sprouts and sweet napa cabbage, then dipped in mustard sauce for a healthy and flavorful dish.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Choose thin slices of pork belly meant for grilling or shabu-shabu, not thick cuts for boiled pork, as they cook quickly and are easier to wrap with vegetables.
  • Adding a small amount of sugar (brown sugar) during marination helps tenderize the meat, making it even softer and more delicate.
  • Do not add the small napa cabbage at the beginning—steaming it too long will make it lose its crisp texture. Instead, add it after the pork has been steamed for 5 minutes to preserve its freshness and bounce.

Recommended for

  • Those who find grilling pork belly too greasy or smelly and prefer a lighter, cleaner way to enjoy it through steaming.
  • People looking for a dish that’s simple and intuitive to prepare yet impressive in appearance when served on the table.
