A delicious and healthy Korean Pork Belly Skillet recipe that combines tender pork belly with vibrant vegetables and a flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork belly, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sliced onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the pork and onion mixture, stirring to coat.
- Add the green beans and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute pork belly with chicken thighs or tofu.
- Serve over brown rice or quinoa for added fiber.
- Adjust the level of gochujang to suit your spice preference.
