Cut the pork belly into bite-sized cubes and pat them dry with paper towels.
✨ Pro Tip: Drying ensures extra crispiness when cooking.
Mix Gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl.
✨ Pro Tip: Taste and adjust sweetness or spice before marinating.
Add the pork belly to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
✨ Pro Tip: Marinate longer (up to 2 hours) for deeper flavor.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, then cook pork belly until crispy and golden.
✨ Pro Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan for even crisping.
Pour the remaining marinade into the pan and let it caramelize over the pork belly.
✨ Pro Tip: Stir constantly to prevent burning and ensure even glazing.
Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top.
✨ Pro Tip: Serve with steamed rice or lettuce wraps for a complete Korean-style meal.
