Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb Pork Belly
- 4-6 Clove Garlic more depending on personal preference
- 1/4 Whole Jalapeno
- 2 tbsp Japanese Sake can substitute with dry sherry wine or Chinese cooking wine
- 2 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 tbsp Korean Soybean Paste can be substituted with Japanese miso
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Combine grated garlic, chopped jalapeno, Japanese sake, toasted sesame oil and Korean soybean paste in mixing bowl.
- Cut pork belly into ~4 inch lengths and ~1/2 inch thickness and add into a zip-lock, along with the marinade. Massage in the marinade ensuring equal distribution. Place zip-lock bag flat in the fridge for 24 hours (up to 36 hour) flipping over at least once half way through the marinate. Note - it's easier to slice meat more precisely if semi-frozen.
- Preheat grill on high until temp reaches ~350F. Once the grill is up to temp, lower heat to medium-low and place pork belly on the grill. Close lid and cook for ~2-3 minute until browned. Flip pork bellies and repeat. Once cooked, transfer to a serving plate. Note - you can wash off the marinade if you want to avoid burning spots, but it'll result in a slightly lighter taste.
