Cooking tips

  • For better absorption of the marinade, use pork belly sliced as thinly as possible; you may substitute with shoulder or loin cuts if needed.
  • If grated pear drink is unavailable, replace it with 1 cup of water and 1 spoon of corn syrup to adjust consistency and sweetness.
  • Cook until no marinade liquid remains on the pan bottom and the sauce is fully absorbed and coated onto the meat—this ensures the rich, signature flavor of Gisa Restaurant-style dishes.
  • Lightly brushing the surface with a torch during the final step allows you to easily recreate the authentic charcoal-grilled flavor at home.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a rich, deeply caramelized soy sauce jeonyuk bokkeum in the style of famous restaurants or Gisa Restaurant.
  • People who struggle with lacking depth and umami in their usual meat marinades.
  • Home cooks looking to dramatically elevate their dish quality with simple tips and just a torch.
