These Korean-style pork belly nachos combine the rich and savory flavors of marinated pork belly with the spicy kick of gochujang and the crunch of tortilla chips. It's a fusion dish that's perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients: 1 lb pork belly, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tablespoons gochujang Korean red pepper paste. 2 tablespoons honey. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon ginger, minced. 1 tablespoon sesame oil. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. 1 bag of tortilla chips. 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/2 cup diced kimchi. 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions. 1/4 cup sour cream. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Sesame seeds for garnish.
Instructions: Mix the gochujang, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and soy sauce in a bowl. To make the marinade, thoroughly mix. Pour the marinade over the thinly sliced pork belly and place it in a zip-top bag. After sealing the bag, rub the marinade into the pork. Let it marinate for a minimum of half an hour in the fridge. Set a grill pan or your own grill to medium-high heat. To keep the grill grates from sticking, lightly coat them with vegetable oil. The marinated pork belly slices should be cooked through and have a hint of caramelization after grilling them for two to three minutes on each side. After taking the grilled pork belly off the grill, give it some time to rest. Cut it into bite-sized pieces after that. Set the oven temperature to 375F 190C. Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on a sizable baking sheet or platter that is safe to use in the oven. Evenly scatter the mozzarella cheese shreds on top of the tortilla chips. On top of the chips covered in cheese, arrange the slices of pork belly. Place the chopped kimchi over the pork belly. The nachos should be baked for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and melted. After taking the nachos out of the oven, garnish them with sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and thinly sliced green onions. Serve hot with sour cream on the side for dipping. Savor your pork belly nachos in the Korean style!
