Cooking tips

  • Since the saltiness of homemade or store-bought doenjang varies, be careful not to add too much at first. If it tastes too salty, balance it by adding a little more sugar or cooking wine.
  • Adding water while cooking keeps the meat moist and tender as the water evaporates, while later the pork belly's own fat renders out, making the surface crispy like charcoal-grilled meat.
  • After eating the meat, chop some cheongyang chili peppers, kimchi, and rice into the leftover meat and seasoning fat in the pan, stir-fry with some roasted seaweed flakes for a delicious fried rice dessert.

Recommended for

  • Those who crave a savory and sweet meat dish instead of the usual gochujang stir-fried pork or plain grilled pork belly.
  • Those who want to learn the trick of grilling marinated ribs or maekjeok-style meat perfectly golden at home without burning.
