First Samgyeopsal (Korean Pork Belly BBQ) at Home



February 2011. Last Saturday, we held a Korean BBQ dinner at home for the first time, with the electrical grill that we borrowed from my mom when we back to hometown for CNY 2 weeks ago. It was a belated house warming party for our relocation to Kota Kemuning, a small farewell party for Mr. Park who is return to Korea for good soon, and a welcoming party for Mr. Ryoo, who is Mr. Park's successor on board. Below are some of the basic ingredients needed for home Korean BBQ~
