Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When steaming the meat in wine, keep the lid closed to prevent moisture loss—this ensures the pork stays tender and juicy, similar to braised meat.
  • For a more refined texture and flavor, crush the pesto in a mortar rather than using a blender—it preserves the crunch and aroma of the nuts and perilla leaves.
  • Press the pork belly firmly with a steak press during grilling, leaving no space between the meat and the pan, so the skin and fat layer become uniformly crispy like a cracker.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to try something special instead of regular grilled pork or boiled pork belly.
  • Fans of crispy seared textures paired with fragrant herb pesto.
