Cooking tips

  • If you blanch daepae pork belly in boiling water, the meat will become tough, so blanch it gently at a temperature just below boiling to keep it tender.
  • Soak the cucumber in ice water, then drain well before using so the sauce adheres properly and the crunchiness is maintained.
  • Doubanjiang is high in salt, so adjust the amount according to your taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a refreshing and clean meat dish for a unique meal or as a drinking snack.
  • Those who want to try a distinctive cooking method for daepae pork belly instead of simply grilling it.
