Recipe 🍳

  1. Before grilling, lightly pound the pork belly with the back of a knife to tenderize and score it.
  2. Clean and cut fresh minari, chives, shredded green onion, and onion into similar proportions, then mix them together in a large bowl.
  3. Add gochugaru, plum extract, anchovy sauce, sugar, seasoned salt, and sesame seeds to the vegetables to taste, then gently toss to make a fresh salad without wilting the leaves.
  4. Place the pork belly on a preheated grill pan or skillet, sprinkle a pinch of salt on each piece, and start grilling until golden brown.
  5. When the pork belly is cooked and fragrant pork fat is rendered, generously add the prepared minari vegetable salad to the lower part of the grill.
  6. Cook the vegetable salad in the pork fat until it absorbs the oil and slightly wilts, then serve alongside the golden pork belly.
  1. Prepare the pork belly by pounding with the back of a knife; mix minari, chives, shredded green onion, and onion in equal ratios.
  2. Add gochugaru, plum extract, anchovy sauce, sugar, seasoned salt, and sesame seeds to the vegetables and toss to create a spicy-sour seasoning.
  3. Once the salted grilled pork belly releases oil, add the seasoned vegetables to the grill pan and cook together to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using properly aged pork belly rather than fresh meat results in a more tender texture and deeper umami flavor.
  • Grill the pork belly with just a light sprinkle of salt—no other seasonings—to let the natural savory flavor shine.
  • Cooking the seasoned vegetable salad in pork fat softens the minari's firm texture and infuses it with rich flavor, making it an outstanding signature side dish.
