Korean BBQ (Sam Gyeop Sal)

Samgyeopsal is one of the most beloved dishes in Korean cuisine, known for its simplicity and rich flavors. It consists of thick, fatty slices of pork belly, which are grilled to perfection at the table. The dish is typically enjoyed with a variety of side dishes (banchan) like kimchi, garlic, and ssamjang (a thick, spicy paste). Often, the grilled meat is wrapped in fresh lettuce or perilla leaves along with rice and the chosen banchan to create a delicious and balanced bite. This communal style of eating makes samgyeopsal not only a meal but also a social experience, often accompanied by soju, a popular Korean distilled beverage.
