Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar until smooth to make the glaze.
Step 2: Place 1 lb pork belly slices in a shallow dish and brush both sides generously with half of the gochujang glaze. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill pork belly slices for 3-4 minutes per side until edges are crisp and pork is cooked through.
Step 4: During the last minute of grilling, brush the pork with remaining glaze to intensify flavor and caramelize slightly.
Step 5: Remove pork belly from grill and let rest for 2 minutes.
Step 6: Serve pork belly slices over 2 cups of steamed jasmine rice, garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 2 thinly sliced green onions, and 1 medium thinly sliced cucumber on the side for freshness.
