Gochujang glazed pork belly

Name: Gochujang glazed pork belly
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Korean
Ingredients: 1¼ lb Pork belly, skin-on; 2 oz Gochujang; 2 tbsp Soy sauce; ¾ oz Erythritol; 1½ tbsp Sesame oil; ¾ oz Garlic; ¾ oz Ginger; ¼ oz Toasted sesame seeds; 2 stalks Scallion; Sea salt, to taste

The glaze goes on twice — a brief coat before the sear so the sugar chars, then a fresh coat at the end so the glaze is glossy and tacky. Scoring the skin in a tight crosshatch lets the fat render while the meat stays medium, which is the difference between a slab of belly and a puddle of fat.

Method

5 steps · 50 minutes

Score the pork skin in a tight crosshatch, just through the fat. Pat dry and salt lightly.
Whisk the gochujang, soy sauce, erythritol, sesame oil, half the garlic and half the ginger. Brush a thin coat over the flesh side of each portion.
Heat a single-handle cast iron skillet over medium-high. Lay the pork skin-side down and sear 6 minutes until the skin is golden. Flip and sear the flesh side 2 minutes more.
Transfer to a sheet pan, brush with the remaining glaze, and roast at 425F for 15 minutes until the glaze chars at the corners.
Rest 5 minutes, slice, and scatter the sesame seeds and sliced scallion over the top.
