Samgyeopsal || Grilled Pork Belly, 烤五花肉, サムギョプサル, 삼겹살 2

Samgyeopsal translates to “three-layer meat” in Korean, referring to the distinct layers of fat and lean meat found in pork belly. It’s a beloved Korean BBQ dish where thick slices of pork belly are grilled at your table.

Here’s a breakdown of Samgyeopsal:

• Flavor: The key to Samgyeopsal is the balance of flavors. The fat renders as it grills, adding incredible juiciness and a satisfying richness to the lean meat.
• Texture: The ideal Samgyeopsal has a crispy exterior and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior.
• Accompaniments: Samgyeopsal is typically enjoyed with a variety of side dishes (banchan) like kimchi, pickled radish, and various types of lettuce and herbs. Dipping sauces, such as ssamjang (a spicy fermented soybean paste) or sesame oil with salt, enhance the flavors.

How to Enjoy Samgyeopsal:

1. Grilling: The pork belly is usually grilled on a tabletop grill. You can cook it to your preferred level of doneness, from slightly pink to well-done and crispy.
2. Wrapping: Once cooked, the pork belly is often wrapped in lettuce leaves along with kimchi, garlic, and other accompaniments for a flavorful and refreshing bite.
3. Dipping: Dipping the grilled pork belly in ssamjang or sesame oil adds another layer of flavor.

Samgyeopsal is a social and interactive dining experience, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
