GRILLED PORK BELLY TACOS

Steps:

• For the marinade and pork: In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, adobo sauce, honey, tamarind paste, cumin and scallions. Add the pork, turning to coat on all sides. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct high-heat grilling. Lightly oil the grill grates. Remove the pork belly from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side.
• For the tacos: Serve the pork with warm tortillas, cilantro and lime wedges for building tacos.

GRILLED PORK BELLY AND KIMCHI

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate with vegetable oil. Place 2 lb. 8"-10"-long skin-on pork belly, sliced into ½"-thick slabs, in a large bowl and season with kosher salt. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil and turn to coat.
• Place one 16-oz. jar whole Napa cabbage kimchi, drained, halved lengthwise, in a medium bowl and drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil.
• Whisk 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp. light or dark brown sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Grill pork belly, turning every 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a platter and drizzle soy sauce mixture over.
• Grill kimchi until charred in spots, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter with pork belly and arrange perilla leaves and red leaf lettuce alongside.
• Place some ssamjang in a small bowl. Set out platter with kitchen shears so guests can cut pork belly and kimchi into bite-size pieces for wrapping in lettuce with a perilla leaf and a bit of ssamjang.
