Cooking tips

  • Coating the pork with starch before grilling helps retain moisture and juices, keeping the meat tender even when cooled.
  • Wiping the pan clean of pork fat before adding the sauce ensures the sauce adheres properly and prevents greasiness, resulting in a clean, balanced flavor.
  • Using brown sugar and mashed pear together creates the deep, glossy color and rich sweetness characteristic of classic braised dishes.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy homemade galbi without strong odors or complicated steps.
  • People seeking soft, moist pork belly that’s easy to chew, suitable for children and elderly.
  • Fans of savory, slightly sweet sauce with the added sweetness of grilled leeks as a perfect rice side dish.
