I recently stumbled upon a restaurant in Seoul slangin a style of bossam (sliced pork belly served with kimchi, oysters, condiments, and a variety of wrapping greens) that I've never seen before in the US.
Rather than boil the pork belly, as is customary, Hyuninae slowly barbecues their pork belly on skewers over live coals.

This process results in pork belly as close to pork's platonic ideal as any I've come across.


Oysters over kimchi

Crisp, savory exterior; buttery, porky interior ... Momofuku Ssam Bar got nuthin on this.

The bossam and a good selection of banchan runs a mere $15 USD total.
