Holiday Pork Skewers, Much Tastier When Marinated After Boiling

Steps

1. 1

   Place the whole pork belly in a pot and add enough water to cover it. Add 0.5T salt, 1T doenjang, and 90ml soju. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to medium heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove the boiled pork belly and let it cool at room temperature.

3. 3

   In a blender, combine 1 onion, 1/2 Asian pear, 1/4 pineapple, and 1 cup of water, then blend.

4. 4

   In a container, mix the blended marinade with 180ml dark soy sauce, 2T sugar, 45ml mirin, and 2T sesame oil.

5. 5

   Once the pork belly has cooled, cut it into long rectangles and skewer 5–7 pieces each. Add the pressed pork neck and skewers to the marinade and let marinate for 2 hours.

6. 6

   Lightly oil a pan and grill the meat. If it looks like it might burn, drizzle a little marinade or water on top as you grill.
