Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Make the sauce with the grilling sauce ingredients.
Boil the whole pork belly in chicken stock, rinse in cold water, and drain.
Brush the sauce on the pork belly and let it age for about 10 minutes.
Finely julienne the salad ingredients and soak in cold water to neutralize each flavor.
Make the salad sauce and toss the salad.
Grill the marinated pork belly and finish by plating with the salad.

💡 TipA reduced-sodium doenjang is used in the sauce, and a broth made from chicken boosts the savory flavor.
