Foodie Friday: Samgyupsal (Grilled Pork Belly)

First Friday of the month:  Food / Recipe

Finally, it's time for some Korean dish! 
I've been eating this dish in Korean restaurants every time I get a chance. Shame on me, I never got to remember what it's called.  All I know is there's a slice of meat, dipping sauce, and it's wrapped in lettuce.

When I attended the Lock & Lock bloggers' event over a month ago, there was a cooking demo, and that's when I realized it's such a simple dish that I can do at home.  Finally, I got the name right = Samgyupsal!  

Sam gyup sal (or samgyeopsal / samkyupsal) literally means 3 layer flesh/fat - which is made of pork, the belly or bacon part to be exact.

I was able to recreate this dish after the event.  But since I've had a few food posts sitting in drafts for the longest time, I can't decide what I should share first.  A poll on my Facebook page did the trick, thus, the choco-mallow cookie recipe was published here instead.
