Servings: 4

Ingredients

Pork belly (1 pound, thinly sliced)
Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
Brown sugar (2 tablespoons)
Pear (1 medium, grated)
Green onions (2, chopped (plus extra for garnish))
Toasted sesame seeds (1 tablespoon)
Vegetable oil (for brushing the grill)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, brown sugar, grated pear, chopped green onions, and toasted sesame seeds until well combined to create the marinade.
Place the thinly sliced pork belly into a ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork belly, ensuring that all slices are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for optimal flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork belly from the marinade and gently shake off any excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the pork belly slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and cooked through, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Transfer the grilled pork belly to a serving platter and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the Korean BBQ pork belly with steamed rice, fresh lettuce leaves for wrapping, and garnish with additional chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Enjoy your delicious Korean BBQ experience!
