Ingredients
- 1 lb pork belly or pork shoulder, butt if using shoulder/butt, choose a fatty cut
seasoning
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce Jin Ganjang (Korean)
- 2 Tbsp Korean chili powder (Gochukaru)
- 4 tsp chopped garlic
- 4 tsp Maesil Syrup (Maesil Cheong) aka green plum extract, green plum syrup
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce and chili powder. Let it sit for few min or longer while you cut the pork. You can also make this ahead and keep in fridge until ready to use.
- Slice pork belly or pork shoulder, against the grain in 1/4 to 1/3rd inch thickness.
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Coat the sliced pork slices with the chili powder soy sauce mix. The soy sauce mixture should be pretty thick and pasty - so you will need to spend a couple of minutes to evenly coat all the pork with the mix.
- To the chili powder soy sauce coated pork, add chopped garlic and measil cheong (green plum extract). Mix and massage everything well by hand.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (or tin foil but parchment paper works well), spread all the pork pieces out in one layer. This is so they are cooked evenly.
- When oven is ready, put in the pork and cook at 375℉ for 10 min. After 10min, take out the pan and turn over each of the pieces. Put the pan back in the oven and increase oven temp to 400℉ and cook for another 10 min. Note, if you are using a smaller toaster oven, the meat may be done before the 10 min. So check after 5 min or so to see if it's starting to burn at the edges - in which case you should take them out from the oven.
