Korean Bacon BBQ (Sam Gyeop Sal)

Korean loves pork belly bbq. They call the pork belly [Sam Gyeop Sal], which literally means three-tier-meat (Fat and meat is overlapped three times). In western country, the most similiar cut is bacon. As you expect, it is really greasy. Usually people cook it on the table with portable cooker. You need a big kitchen towel to absorb the fat.

Sam Gyeop Sal is a really party food in Korea. Of course the party style is very different from westerns. Korean drinking party is usually happen in restaurant with a lot of Soju(Korean vodka). Usually they don;t add any seasoning but eat with spicy side dish (such as Kimchi or Gochujang) or salty sauce (sesame-oiled salt, or wasabi soysauce). Cooked Kimchi is very spicy and special.

Many restaurant offer minimum 2 servings. But Koreans are kind to strangers. Foreign people may order 1 serving. If you visit Korea, never miss to taste it.
