Dwaeji galbi is the pork version of Korea's famous galbi: pork shoulder or ribs marinated in a sweet, garlicky soy sauce and grilled until sticky and charred. It is more affordable than beef galbi and every bit as delicious. Grill it outdoors or sear it in a skillet.

Instructions
Lightly score both sides of each pork slice so the marinade soaks in.
Whisk the marinade ingredients together, add the pork, and massage to coat. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Grill over medium-high heat or cook in a cast-iron skillet for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until caramelized and cooked through.
Cut into bite-size pieces, garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve with lettuce wraps.
Notes
Pork shoulder has enough marbling to stay juicy on the grill. Keep the heat at medium-high, because the marinade can scorch over very high heat.Chef's Tip: For a spicy version, add 1 tablespoon of gochugaru and 1 tablespoon of Keto Gochujang-Style Paste to the marinade.Keto Swap: Pork galbi marinade typically includes sugar, honey or corn syrup, plus fruit purée. Allulose and grated onion keep the sweetness and tenderness.Success Tip: Leftovers are great chopped and stirred into kimchi fried cauliflower rice.Nutrition is calculated from the ingredients and is an estimate per serving.
