You Need To Try This Feast, The Family Will Be Delighted
Guys, admittedly I am not a hugely creative or innovative cook.
I'm somebody who has my standard go to meals: Lightly Fried Fish Fillets, White People Taco Night, Homemade Pizza Night, Chicken salads, sometimes a soup, you get it.
But in my journey where I fell in to the rabbit hole that is a certain group I never shut up about (so they will not be named), I got a lot of different ideas presented to me. I mean, my experience was pretty much.... sweet and sour chicken and hamburger helper fried rice. You can only go up from there, right?
Most of the time, that's just easier, you know? Throw some frozen egg rolls in the oven and bam, you're done. But I have to admit, I was curious. NJ did take me to a nice Korean spot in KC one time, and I admit, their style of fried chicken is delish. In particular I was interested in a meat dish. This meat dish.
Samgyeopsal.
I can't pronounce it, so I'll let the millionaire sing about his love of pork belly.
But I'll admit, I thought, this is going to be way too hard to make, and I bet it'll take forever, and the specific kind of meat is probably too expensive if I can even find it in Sedalia anyway, right?
Yawl, the way I gasped aloud when I saw this hunk of meat at the People's Republic of Walton, I'm sure I must have startled someone's cousin.
Not only was pork belly available, but it wasn't too pricey, and I figured, what the heck. It won't be a regular every week thing, but why not try it?
And here, Gentle Reader, is my result. In pictures!
The Pork Belly Experiment
I may not start singing in Korean, but I definitely will make up a lovely song about this because it was DELICIOUS. I would cut it a little differently next time, but all in all, good stuff.
Would you try making pork belly like this? Have you ever done it yourself? What did you do? Do you have a recipe you like?
Cookingly yours,
Behka
