Recipe

Add 4 tablespoons of cooking oil to a pot and sear all sides of the whole pork belly until crispy to develop a Maillard aroma.
Once the surface is golden, pour in all 750ml of makgeolli.
Add 90ml of jin soy sauce and simmer over low heat with the lid open for 30–40 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly.
Slice the cooked pork into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop 50g of cabbage, mix with a pinch of salt, and drain in a colander.
Mix 3 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of starch syrup, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Microwave the garlic mixture for 30 seconds three times, for a total of 1 minute 30 seconds.
Combine the cooked garlic mixture with the drained cabbage to make the garlic sauce.
Arrange the pork slices on a plate and top with the garlic sauce to finish.

Sear the surface of the whole pork belly in a pan until golden to create a Maillard reaction.
Pour makgeolli and jin soy sauce over the seared pork belly and simmer over low heat with the lid open for 30–40 minutes.
Slice the well-braised pork belly into bite-sized pieces and serve with the garlic sauce.

Cooking tips

When braising the whole pork belly with makgeolli and jin soy sauce, keep the lid open and cook slowly over low heat.
You can substitute 1 tablespoon of honey for the 1 tablespoon of starch syrup.
Adjust the microwave time for the garlic: 1 minute total for a pungent taste, 1 minute 30 seconds for a sweet cooked garlic flavor, and 2 minutes for a mild sweetness.
