Grilled Pork Belly

Grilled Pork Belly is a savory and succulent Korean BBQ dish that showcases the rich flavors of marinated pork, perfectly charred on the grill. Served with fresh lettuce leaves and dipping sauces, it creates a delightful and interactive dining experience.

Ingredients

• Pork belly - 400 grams
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 4 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.

3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the pork belly from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
