A while back there was a thread someone recommended watching “Korean Pork Belly Rhapsody” on Netflix. Really cool Docu-series. I’ve never tried Korean BBQ and the Documentary made me decide to give it a try. Don’t ask me why I decided to give it a go for my Super Bowl party contribution, felt kind of un-American! But it was a big hit!
10 pound butt, I cut in half, 5 pnd for pulled pork, the other for the pork bites.
Pork bite half cut into long strips:

Marinade for 6 hours and I doubled the recipe;
- ½ red onion, sliced into thin strips
- 3 stalks green onion, sliced into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- ¼ cup korean red chili paste, gochujang
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice wine
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- sesame seed, green onion to garnish

Stuck them on skewers then onto apple pellet smoker at 250 to join the other half of butt.

The butt got done shortly after I put the bites on wrapped to rest, the shredded right before the party:

And the bites were at about 185-90 IT when I pulled them off. I didn’t want them fall apart, still needed some resistance to a bite,

Garnished with sesame seeds and green onion! They were delicious with a nice spicy flavor! Really good with IPA, and they didn’t make it much past kick off!
Fun new flavor and “thing“ to try!
Thanks for your time!
