Korean Bacon

So Cin and I cheated slightly last weekend, because we spent the day in the big city and had no kitchen in which to fry up our delicious weekly bacon serving. Instead, we headed out to a Korean restaurant for sam gib sal, also known as totally awesome Korean BBQ. Sam gib sal is a form of Korean bacon, and roughly translated I believe it means "three layers of fat". Uh... let's try not to think about that part.

Begin by finding a great Korean restaurant, complete with a grill in the center of the table. Then, get your raw meat and start cooking. We actually had a selection of meats, but there is bacon in there. Traditionally, the bacon strips are cut into pieces with scissors as you grill them.

Once your sam gib sal is cooked, select a tasty-looking piece. Place it in a bit of lettuce leaf, and add bean paste and (optionally) garlic. Wrap leaf into neat packet. Dip into salty dipping sauce.

So good.
