The Perfect Samgyupsal at Home

Most have already given in to the Kpop invasion, much less the introduction of the korean food craze to our culinary world. Who should blame whom? It’s undeniably irresistible. One of the well loved among them all is the samgyupsal craze. You’ve seen countless ads on social media about delicious samgyupsal meal kits in Davao City, the best grillers on shopee or lazada and all that. Clearly, this is now an acknowledged part of our culinary preference as Filipinos. It’s easy, super fun and definitely flavorful. Now that it’s not yet recommended to dine in restaurants, allow us to give you tips on how to make your samgyupsal dining at home a leveled-up experience!

Cook time for a standard samgyup serving is around 6 minutes. All you need are:

• ½ kilogram pork belly

• ¾ cup Korean BBQ sauce

To serve, you will need the following:

• 1 bowl or more of wraps - can be lettuce, kale, spinach or whatever you like

• Cooked rice

• Soybean paste

• Sesame oil

• Garlic cloves

Here are the easy steps to prepare it. Marinate the meat first.

1. In a bowl or dish, generously cover the meat in BBQ sauce.

2. Allow it to marinate for at least 1 to 2 hours, but preferably overnight for maximum absorption of flavor.

After marinating the pork belly, we can now proceed to grilling it. You can use an indoor grill for convenience, or you can use an outdoor grill. If you don’t have either, then you may use an ordinary pan. It still works the same!

1. Heat up the grill and place the marinated pork belly strips on the heated grill.

2. Cook each side for approximately 3 minutes. The meat should be golden brown, and the sugar from the BBQ sauce should caramelize.

The last step of course is to serve and enjoy the grilled pork belly. What I usually do is use the same Korean BBQ sauce I used for marinating as a dipping sauce, as well. The traditional way to eat samgyupsal-gui involves making lettuce wraps with tasty fillings inside. Wondering where to buy meal kits in Davao that offers the best samgyup kit?
