What is "samgyeopsal"?

Samgyeopsal is a popular Korean dish that features thick slices of pork belly that are grilled or pan-fried until they are crispy and caramelized on the outside, while still tender and juicy on the inside. The dish is often served with a variety of side dishes such as kimchi, lettuce, garlic, and sauces such as ssamjang, which is a spicy and savory dipping sauce. Samgyeopsal is typically cooked at the table on a grill, allowing diners to cook the meat to their desired level of doneness.

Samgyeopsal can be customized to suit different tastes and dietary preferences, and is often served with steamed rice.

Examples

1. Fun fact: this is called samgyeopsal, and it translates pretty much to three-layered meat, and it refers to how it looks, the fat, the meat, the fat.

2. So the last meal for RM's day is just as iconic as he is and that is samgyeopsal, which is Korean grilled pork belly.

3. They kinda cut it samgyeopsal style, which is sorta like a grilled pork belly, but they cold-smoke it, so it's gonna have those smokey, woody flavors, and yet, they sous vide it, so it's gonna be super gelatinous.
