Zesty Sweet Crispy Soy Pork

Zesty Sweet Crispy Soy Pork

It's zesty, it's sweet, it's crispy, it's....soy?! That's right - we tried to make a jingle, but then we decided we'd just make our soy pork instead, and, well, we want you to join in on the fun! We're bringing the Korean kitchen to you, and these pork belly bites are the best way to do that (well, in our opinion, at least). Go on, give 'em a shot for your next barbecue. You won't be sorry (we promise).
