Set down your beer because you’ll need two hands for these Crispy Korean Pork Belly Sandwiches. Coming at you with heat and smoke, each bite has an amazing combination of soft and crispy pork.

Step 1

Score the Pork

Score the pork belly with a crosshatch on the fat side, about ¼” cuts.

Step 2

Season the Pork

Season all sides of the pork belly and allow it to rest with the spices, uncovered, in the fridge for 4 hours or up to overnight.

Step 3

Smoke

prep the smoked for 250  Place the pork belly on the smoker and allow it to cook. Spray the edges with apple cider vinegar every few hours as needed. Do not add a water pan into the smoker. 2.

Step 4

Make the Sauce

Make the sauce. Whisk the ingredients together, adding a few tsp of water as needed. It helps if your gochujang is room-temp when preparing the sauce.

Step 5

Rest the Pork

Smoke the pork until it reaches 200 to 205 when temped. Remove from heat and  allow it to rest wrapped in butcher paper.

Step 6

Shred the Pork

Shred the pork belly when it’s around 165 F. The meat strands will be lengthy, so you may need to chop it as well. Mix in the crispy bark and the juicy meat as you’re chopping. 2.

Step 7

Serve

Make your Korean BBQ sandwiches and top with the sauce, garnished with green onions.  Serve and enjoy!
