Samgyeopsal grilled pork belly and vegetables on the BRUNO Compact Multi Grill Pot

Korean samgyeopsal is all about grilling thick slices of pork belly at the table and wrapping them in crisp leaves with kimchi and a punchy dipping sauce. The flat grill plate of the BRUNO Compact Multi Grill Pot makes it easy to cook the pork and colourful vegetables together, for a fun, sociable meal everyone builds themselves.

Ingredients

  • 500g thickly sliced pork belly
  • Green and yellow zucchini, a small amount of each
  • Red and yellow bell peppers, a small amount of each
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Leafy greens (perilla / egoma, sunny lettuce), as needed
  • Dipping sauce (ssamjang, gochujang), as needed
  • Kimchi, as desired
  • Lime, as desired

Method

  1. Season the pork belly slices lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Slice the zucchini into 3cm rounds and cut each in half; cut the bell peppers into quarters.
  3. Set the grill plate to MID and arrange the pork belly, zucchini and peppers on it to cook.
  4. When juices start to surface on the pork, flip everything and cook a little longer.
  5. Hold each pork slice with tongs and snip it into bite-size pieces with kitchen scissors.
  6. Pile the pork, kimchi, dipping sauce and any other toppings onto a leafy green, wrap and enjoy, with a squeeze of lime if you like.

Tip: Cut the pork only after grilling - snipping it on the plate with scissors keeps every piece hot and juicy. A mix of ssamjang and gochujang gives the classic savoury-spicy wrap, so put out a few sauces and let everyone build their own.
