• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound pork belly, (skin removed and discarded; pork cut into one-inch pieces)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon cooking oil

4 cloves garlic, (minced)

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, (grated)

1/4 cup gochujang

2 tablespoons gochujaru

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1-2 whole green onions, (thinly sliced)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.

Toss the prepared pork belly pieces with the salt and pepper to coat and transfer to an aluminum foil-lined baking dish.

Bake the pork pieces for 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven, turn them over, and bake them for an additional 20 minutes.

Once the pork is cooked, transfer the pork pieces to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Safely discard the grease.

Next, add the cooking oil, garlic, and ginger to a large skillet over medium heat. Stir and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant.

Add the gochujang, gochujaru, low-sodium soy sauce, and honey to the skillet. Stir to combine and continue to cook until the sauce is heated through - about 3 minutes.

Add the pork pieces to the skillet and toss well to coat in the sauce.

Plate and garnish with the green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
