Recipe 🍳
- Fold the cooking foil like origami to create a small bowl shape that fits inside the bottom of a pot.
- Cut open 2 green tea bags and place the powder in the foil bowl, then set the bowl on the bottom of the pot.
- Place the pork belly on top so that it does not directly touch the bottom or the foil, cover with a lid, and heat over high heat for 5 minutes to smoke with green tea smoke.
- Remove the smoked pork belly, cut into bite-sized pieces, and pan-fry in a skillet until the surface is golden brown.
- In the pan, add a handful of rice cakes, 5 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 3 tablespoons corn syrup, 2 tablespoons each of gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, 1 tablespoon each of ketchup, oyster sauce, and gochujang, 1/2 tablespoon beef dasida, and a pinch of pepper. Bring to a boil to make the sauce.
- When the sauce is bubbling, add the cooked pork belly and stir-fry until the sauce thickly coats the meat and rice cakes.
- Finally, add sliced cheongyang chili peppers for extra heat and lightly toss.
- Before serving, if you have a torch, briefly char the surface to maximize smoky flavor, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Line a pot with foil, add green tea powder, place pork belly on top, close lid, and smoke over high heat for 5 minutes.
- Cut meat into bite-sized pieces, pan-fry, then mix sauce ingredients with rice cakes and water, and bring to a boil.
- Stir-fry the meat in the sauce until glazed, add cheongyang chili peppers, torch for smoky flavor, and finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Burning green tea bags produces a lot of smoke, so be sure to turn on the exhaust fan while cooking.
- To prevent the meat from burning, ensure it does not touch the bottom of the pot; suspend it over the foil bowl.
- Ketchup and oyster sauce in the seasoning provide savory depth; adjust sweetness by varying the amount of corn syrup.
