dinner time.., so it’s time to make Pork Belly BBQ (Samgyeopsal Gui)
read more @ source
This time I just bought 800g of the meat for 4 people (last time I bought 1.4 kg) I wished I had bought more meat, but it is better to eat less than get sick later, right?
There aren’t many things you need to prepare to enjoy Samgyeopsal BBQ and below are what I prepared for our dinner.
What I baked with
You can bake pretty much anything you want. …Green chili, Sliced garlic, Enoki mushrooms, Kimchi)

I haven’t made pickled white radish myself yet but I am going to make it in the future. In the meantime, it is available at the supermarket in Korea. Hopefully you can find them where you live too.
Pickled white radish has a slightly sweet and sour taste. So it gives an extra flavour to the wrap when you eat them together.
What else I enjoyed with it

Seasoned garlic chives (부추 무침 – recipe will follow near the end of this post, though it wasn’t as good as I hoped. I need to develop it more), Ssamjang (dipping sauce for lettuce), Cucumber

Seasoned garlic chives are a small companion for the meat. When you eat the meat, it gives a nice flavour, supposedly sweet and sour taste plus onion fragrance. Most Korean restaurants serve thinly sliced spring onions instead of the garlic chives, but I thought it is easier to deal with the garlic chives than thin slicing spring onions, since I don’t have the proper equipment.
before baking…….

My sister thinks that it is important to spread some oil by rubbing one piece of pork on the grill before you add the rest of the meat. That way the meat doesn’t stick to the plate.
