Herb Samgyupsal (Korean Grilled Pork Belly) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 pounds pork belly strips
1 cup chopped kimchi
1 bulb garlic, cloves separated and peeled
3 scallions (pajori), chopped
Ssamjang Dipping Sauce:
2 tablespoons doenjang (Korean soybean paste)
2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), or more to taste
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon rice wine
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Preparation

Mix thyme, dill, rosemary, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Rub over both sides of each pork belly strip. Let stand at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork belly strips until well browned, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving some grease in the skillet. Cut strips into bite-sized pieces.
Saute kimchi, garlic cloves, and scallions in the reserved grease over medium-high heat until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Mix doenjang, gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, sesame seeds, rice wine, and brown sugar in a bowl to make ssamjang sauce.
Serve pork belly strips with kimchi, garlic, scallions, and ssamjang sauce.
