Korean Barbeque Pork Belly

Korean Barbeque Pork Belly

Korean barbeque is one of my favorite dinners to go with friends because by nature it is a very communal activity. However when entertaining guests at home, many people disregard KBBQ is too difficult or even impossible. This couldn't be further from the truth. Not only is making Korean BBQ at home easy and fun, it is very economical as well! This Korean Barbeque Pork Belly is one of my favorite things to make when having friends over for an at home night of Korean BBQ!

Stir-Fried Sticky Rice 生炒糯米飯

Stir-Fried Sticky Rice 生炒糯米飯

You may also want to add shallots, garlic, ginger, cilantro and Chinese preserved meats. There are 2 basic types of glutinous rice, long-grain and short-grain. I prefer the short-grain because it is a bit chewier. This recipe can be used for either one. If you don’t have time to soak the rice for 4 hours, try this….. 1) Soak for 1 hour 2) Drain 3) Add 2 tbsp oil to the rice and mix well 4) Steam on high for 30 minutes 5) Add 75 ml of the water mixture to the rice and mix well. The water prevents the rice from sticking together. This water is not in addition to the 200ml water. You’re just using some of it first. 6) Continue on with the regular steps except that you will only add water twice and not 3 times as per steps 19 and 20

Honey Roasted Char Siu 蜜汁叉燒

Honey Roasted Char Siu 蜜汁叉燒

You can use any cut of pork for this recipe. I usually use pork belly, pork butt and/or pork shoulder. Most of the time, I make a combination of pork belly and pork shoulder since they are both available at Costco. (My son prefers pork belly and I prefer pork shoulder.) The pork belly at Costco is perfect for making char siu since the skin is already removed. Sometimes their pork belly is quite fatty so I remove some of the fat and save it for making sweet rice balls (tang yuan). Besides roasting, you can also pan-fry at medium-high heat. A baking rack is highly recommended for this recipe.
