Ogyeopsal Gui
Grilled Five-Layered Pork Belly
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Korean dishes.
What it is
Thick slices of five-layered pork belly, distinct from standard samgyeopsal due to the skin layer, are grilled to crispy perfection. Served with fresh lettuce, garlic, and green chili peppers for ssam (wraps).
Key ingredients
Pork belly with skin, salt, pepper, sesame oil, garlic, green chili, lettuce, perilla leaves. Dipping sauces (e.g., ssamjang) are usually served on the side.
Optional tweaks
None needed for the main dish. Request plain salt and sesame oil for dipping, or inquire about sugar-free ssamjang. Avoid sweet side sauces.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
소스는 소금이랑 참기름만 주시겠어요? 혹시 무설탕 쌈장도 있나요?
Please, just plain salt and sesame oil for dipping. Do you have sugar-free ssamjang?
Watch out for
Sweetened ssamjang (dipping sauce), or marinades if not plain gui. Ensure no hidden sugars in any accompanying sauces.
