Ttukdak Hyung's Rice Straw Pork Belly
Grilled pork belly infused with a deep rice straw smoking aroma, easily done at home by burning a medicinal herb pack for samgyetang.
Ingredients needed 2 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Since the herb pack will burn black and heavily smoke the pot bottom, use a stainless steel pot that cleans easily or a disposable cast iron pot instead of a prized high-end one.
- Instead of hard-to-find real rice straw, heating a readily available samgyetang herb pack creates a clean, sophisticated charcoal and herbal aroma without spreading smoke throughout the house.
- The gentle 20-minute low-heat smoking renders out some of the pork belly's surface fat, ensuring the pan-fried result is much crispier on the outside while remaining juicy and moist inside.
Recommended for
- Those who want to enjoy a special smoky and deep herbal flavor instead of plain grilled pork belly at home.
- Those who want to recreate the nostalgic taste of the once-trendy rice straw pork belly with minimal ingredients and simple tips.
- Those looking for a unique yet crowd-pleasing meat dish to serve guests at housewarmings or weekend home parties.
