Spicy Pork Belly Bites are a savory and flavorful Korean snack, perfect for sharing or enjoying as a high-protein treat. The crispy texture combined with a spicy glaze makes these bites irresistible.

Ingredients

• Pork belly - 300 grams, cut into bite-sized cubes
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Gochujang (Korean chili paste) - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped for garnish
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, gochujang, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the pork belly cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork belly cubes in a single layer, reserving the marinade.
4. Cook the pork belly for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and browned.
5. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken and glaze the pork belly.
6. Remove from heat and transfer the pork belly bites to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
