Gochujang Pork Belly

Gochujang is one of my favourite ingredients and I regularly use it in many recipes so here’s another one. This authentic Korean chilli paste is a great way to add a ton of flavour and this gorgeous colour to your roasted meats. Pair this with rice, noodles, or slice it up to put into a tortilla wrap. Whatever you do, make sure to save and try it for yourself asap!

Instructions

  1. Mix the marinating ingredients together in a bowl and brush all over the pork belly slices for at least 30 minutes.
  2. When you’re ready to cook, choose one of the below cooking methods.
    1. Oven: preheat the oven to the grill setting at 180ºC/350ºF and prep a roasting tray with baking parchment. Place the marinated pork onto the pan and keep any remaining marinade juices. Allow to cook for 30 minutes, brushing over the remaining marinade halfway and flipping it over to the other side.
    2. Airfryer: line your airfryer tray with aluminium foil and cook the pork at 180°C/350ºF for 10 mins. Brush over any remaining marinade and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked through and lightly charred and caramelised.
  3. Allow the pork to rest for a few minutes before slicing up to serve with steamed rice, and some cucumber for freshness.
