Recipe 🍳
- Before grilling, lightly pound the pork belly with the back of a knife to tenderize and score it.
- Clean and cut fresh minari, chives, shredded green onion, and onion into similar proportions, then mix them together in a large bowl.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cook the vegetable salad in the pork fat until it absorbs the oil and slightly wilts, then serve alongside the golden pork belly.
- Prepare the pork belly by pounding with the back of a knife; mix minari, chives, shredded green onion, and onion in equal ratios.
- Add gochugaru, plum extract, anchovy sauce, sugar, seasoned salt, and sesame seeds to the vegetables and toss to create a spicy-sour seasoning.
- 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.
