Preparation

Step 1

Boil rice cakes for 2-3 minutes until soft, then drain.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and garlic. Toss beef belly lightly in the sauce mixture.

Step 3

Step 4

In the same pan, lightly crisp the rice cakes until golden.

Step 5

Stack or skewer a crispy rice cake with folded beef belly. Drizzle with spicy mayo or gochujang aioli.

Step 6

Top with green onions and sesame seeds.

Serving Suggestion

Serve warm as a shareable appetizer with cold soju or cocktails. Great for dipping and easy to eat in a social setting.
