Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Using thinly sliced pork belly will help it cook faster and makes rolling easier. You can also substitute with bacon for a delicious alternative, and thinly sliced pork belly (daepae samgyeopsal) is also a great option! First, season the meat lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Cut the thinly sliced pork belly or bacon into pieces large enough to wrap around the rice cakes. Place a rice cake in the center and roll the meat around it tightly.
Step 3
For an extra touch of flavor and texture, feel free to add ingredients like enoki mushrooms or cheese-filled rice cakes. Simply wrap them along with the plain rice cake inside the pork.
Step 4
Thread the pork-wrapped rice cakes onto skewers, arranging them neatly side-by-side. Ensure they are secured well on the skewer.
Step 5
Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the skewers in the hot pan and grill them, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. The delicious aroma will start to fill your kitchen! Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 6
Even though you’re at home, it truly feels like a camping trip! We highly recommend these grilled pork belly and rice cake skewers as a delightful finger food for your year-end parties or any special occasion!
