02Steps
- Cut pork belly into strips about 1cm thick and 8cm long. Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place pork belly strips skin-side down and cook until skin is golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Turn and cook meat side for 3 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and white pepper powder. Pour glaze over pork belly and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes until caramelized.
- Remove pork belly and set aside on paper towels. Cut into bite-sized pieces once cooled slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Do not overmix; batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Preheat waffle maker. Lightly oil or butter it. Pour batter and cook according to machine instructions until golden brown, about 5 minutes per waffle.
- In a small saucepan, combine gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Heat over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and warm.
- Place a warm waffle on a plate. Top with pork belly pieces.
- Drizzle spicy sauce over the pork belly and waffle. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh scallions.
- Serve immediately while waffle is hot and crispy.
