🛒 Ingredient Tips
🥬 For suyuk, besides whole pork belly, pork shoulder (moksal) or regular pork belly (samgyeopsal) also works well.
Choosing a cut with a good balance of fat and lean meat will result in more tender and flavorful suyuk.
The more onions and green onions you use, the more sweetness and moisture the vegetables will release, which helps cook the meat more deliciously.
Using whole garlic cloves will enhance the flavor even more.
Fresh ingredients are the secret to its taste.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
🔥 The most crucial points in this recipe are the 'initial searing method' and 'closing the lid.' First, searing the fatty side of the pork over high heat until golden brown helps lock in the meat's flavor and creates a crispy exterior with a juicy interior.
Then, reducing the heat to medium-low, adding the vegetables, and sealing the lid tightly is key!
This prevents the moisture released from the vegetables from escaping, ensuring the pork cooks up tenderly.
Remember not to open the lid too frequently.
👨🍳 Directions
Drizzle cooking oil into a pan.
Heat the pan over high heat. Place the pork belly with the fat side down and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Sear for about 20-30 seconds, until the surface of the meat is lightly golden brown.
Reduce heat to medium-low, then add the onions, green onions, and garlic on top of the pork. Close the lid and cook for 20 minutes.
Open the lid, flip the pork belly, then close the lid again and cook for another 20 minutes until done.
💡 Tips
This recipe is very easy and delicious, so save it and try making it whenever you're hungry.
It's best to first sear the pork belly fat-side down over high heat and season it, then add the vegetables and cook over medium-low heat.
This is a 'waterless' cooking method, meaning it relies on the moisture released from the vegetables. Therefore, make sure to close the lid tightly so that the vegetable moisture doesn't escape.
