Cooking tips

  • Perilla peppers become mushy and lose their satisfying crunch if cooked too long, so they must be added at the very last moment and stir-fried for exactly 30 seconds.
  • If you have fish sauce on hand, you can substitute it for dried anchovy sauce to achieve a deeper, more authentic Southeast Asian flavor.
  • The 1 tablespoon of vinegar added at the end isn't just for sourness—it’s a crucial step that cuts through the greasiness of the pork and neutralizes the fishy aroma of the anchovy sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to break away from ordinary salt-grilled pork belly and try an addictive sweet-savory stir-fried version.
  • Anyone who wants to enjoy the crisp texture of perilla peppers and the pungent aroma of well-cooked whole garlic alongside the rich, fatty essence of pork belly.
