STEP 1/12
Cut 2 green onions into 7cm long pieces and prepare whole garlic, bay leaf, and butter.
STEP 2/12
Add 1 tablespoon soybean paste, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and pepper and mix.
STEP 3/12
Rinse pork belly lightly in running water and dry it with a kitchen towel.
STEP 4/12
Make a cut on the front of the pork belly. (If you make a cut, the seasoning seeps in well.)
STEP 5/12
Spread the soybean paste sauce evenly on the front, back, and sides of pork belly.
STEP 6/12
Place a sheet of paper foil on the bottom of the pot and place the green onion on top.
STEP 7/12
Put pork belly with soybean paste sauce on top of green onions.
STEP 8/12
Put 14 whole garlic, 5 bay leaves, and 40g of butter on top of pork belly.
STEP 9/12
Cover one sheet of paper foil on top of the ingredients. (If you are using a long paper foil, close the ends like a candy.)
STEP 10/12
Cover the pot and boil over low gas for about 40 minutes. (If you boil it on high heat, you can burn the pork belly without being cooked.)
STEP 11/12
After a while, open the lid and poke the thickest part of pork belly with chopsticks to see if the meat is cooked and check if blood comes out after about 4 seconds. If blood doesn't come out, pork belly is well boiled, and if blood comes out, boil it a little more.
STEP 12/12
If the meat is well cooked, cut it into bite-size pieces and put it on a plate to boil pork belly meat and make pork belly bossam.
The salinity of soybean paste varies from brand to brand, so please adjust the amount of soybean paste and add it. (Personally, I added 1 tablespoon of soybean paste that I used, and the meat tasted a little salty after boiling.)
I set the timer for 40 minutes, but when I checked after 30 minutes, the meat was cooked well.
It's delicious if you eat it with cabbage or green onion kimchi.^^
