No reviews yet

Gochujang char siu is roast pork belly with a unique fusion of Chinese and Korean flavors. It is sticky and sweet from the sugar and honey, smokey from the aromatic Chinese spices, and subtly spicy from the Korean gochujang.

Instructions

Mix the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
Add about 4 tbsp of the marinade to the pork belly (or enough to thinly coat the pork belly).
Let it marinate in the fridge overnight or for at least 8 hours. Store the reserved marinade in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the marinated pork belly in a baking dish lined with aluminum foil and roast one side for 15 minutes. Flip it over and roast the other side for another 15 minutes.
Brush the pork belly with the reserved marinade and let it broil for a couple minutes or until there is a nice char.
Flip it over and repeat the previous step.
