Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Perilla seed becomes soft and limp if overcooked, so add it only at the end and stir-fry for just 30 seconds to maintain its crisp texture.
  • If you have fish sauce at home, using it instead of anchovy sauce will give an even more authentic, local flavor.
  • The final splash of vinegar not only balances the greasiness of the pork but also enhances the overall depth of flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who feel bored with the same old grilled pork belly and want a creative twist.
  • Fans of Southeast Asian-style savory, salty, umami-rich meat dishes.
  • People who enjoy a hearty combination of crunchy perilla seed and roasted whole garlic with grilled pork belly.
