  4. Evenly lay the prepared perilla sprouts and sliced onions on a serving plate.

Cooking tips 💡

  • You can substitute pork belly with brisket or thinly sliced boneless pork shoulder for equally delicious results.
  • Crush the sesame seeds lightly between your fingers before adding them—this intensifies their nutty aroma.
  • Wrap the perilla sprouts and onion around the pork belly and eat them together for a satisfying crunch and aromatic burst in every bite.
