What is samgyeopsal?

Samgyeopsal is a popular Korean dish that involves grilling thick slices of pork belly at the table.

The grilled pork is typically dipped in a sauce made of sesame oil, salt, and pepper, and then wrapped in lettuce leaves along with garlic, green chili peppers, and a bit of ssamjang (a thick, spicy paste).

Samgyeopsal is often enjoyed during social gatherings and is usually accompanied by soju.
