- 1 Tbsp Plum extract (Maesil-cheong)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 200g of pork belly shavings for the salad. They don’t require any special preparation and can be used as is.
Step 2
Peel and thoroughly wash the 1/4 onion, then thinly slice it into shreds. This will add a crisp texture to your salad.
Step 3
Soak the shredded onion in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove its pungent and sharp taste. This process enhances the onion’s sweetness, making it much more pleasant to eat. After soaking, drain the onion completely using a sieve.
Step 4
Wash the 1/2 cucumber under running water, then slice it into half-moon shapes, about 0.5cm thick. This shape is visually appealing and easy to eat.
Step 5
Place the drained shredded onion and the prepared cucumber slices into a large bowl. The fresh vegetables will enrich the overall flavor of the salad.
Step 6
Now, let’s make the delicious special dressing. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard, 1 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp plum extract, and 1 Tbsp soy sauce. Whisk with a fork or spoon until the sugar is dissolved. You’ll have a wonderfully balanced dressing that’s sweet, tangy, and slightly zesty.
Step 7
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Without adding any oil, spread out the 200g of pork belly shavings and grill until golden brown. They cook quickly due to their thinness, so keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Flip when they start to release a savory aroma and cook the other side until done.
Step 8
Once the pork belly shavings are nicely grilled, gently press them with a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and artfully arrange them over the prepared vegetables. Anticipate the delightful combination of warm pork belly and fresh greens!
Step 9
Drizzle the specially made dressing evenly over the salad, which now features the warm, grilled pork belly and crisp vegetables. Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing to your preference.
Step 10
Toss everything together and enjoy immediately! You’ll experience a truly delicious pork belly shavings salad with the savory pork, refreshing vegetables, and flavorful dressing. Enjoy your meal!
