Korean Style Pan-fried Pork Belly Founded with the vision of creating a trusted information source

Korean style pan-fried pork belly recipeToday I want to share the recipe for a delicious Korean Style Pan-fried Pork Belly with you. Not only does it taste amazing but also is super easy to make!

One of the most important seasonings we will be needing to make this dish is the Korean hot pepper paste. You could easily find it at most Asian grocery store or on Amazon. 

You don’t have to get the same brand I am using. There are a lot of different brands that are making the hot pepper paste, they taste about the same.

Korean chili sauce

To start, I cut the pork belly into thin slices. Then I marinate the pork with half teaspoon of minced garlic, ginger; one tablespoon of Korean hot pepper paste, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.
