Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • Pork Belly Block 350-400g
  • Napa Cabbage Kimchi 100g
  • Scallions 50g
  • Sunny Lettuce 1 bunch

Seasonings

  • [A] Gochujang (Korean Chili Paste) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Miso Paste 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Sesame Oil 1/2 tbsp
  • Salt 4 pinches

Steps

  1. Tear the Sunny Lettuce (1 bunch) into halves and place in a salad spinner.
  2. Wash the torn Sunny Lettuce.
  3. Thoroughly drain the water from the Sunny Lettuce using the salad spinner. (Secret Tip!) Thoroughly draining the water prevents the lettuce from becoming watery when used to wrap the meat.
  4. Arrange the drained Sunny Lettuce on a plate and lightly cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
  5. In a small bowl, combine Gochujang (1 tbsp), Miso Paste (1 tbsp), Mirin (1 tsp), Sugar (1 tsp), and Sesame Oil (1/2 tbsp). Mix well.
  6. Cut the white part of the Scallions (50g) in half lengthwise.
  7. Place the cut side down and thinly slice the Scallions diagonally. (Secret Tip!) Slicing thinly is important to retain their texture.
  8. Prepare Napa Cabbage Kimchi (100g).
  9. Cut the Pork Belly Block (350-400g) into 4-5 thick slices.
  10. Pierce the cut surfaces of the Pork Belly thoroughly with a fork to break down the muscle fibers. (Secret Tip!) This one step will make the meat incredibly tender.
  11. Season both sides of the forked Pork Belly with 2 pinches of Salt per side (4 pinches total). (Secret Tip!) A slightly stronger saltiness enhances the flavor of the meat in grilled dishes.
  12. Arrange the seasoned Pork Belly slices in a frying pan without adding oil.
  13. Start cooking the Pork Belly over medium-low heat. Once one side is nicely browned, flip it over. (Secret Tip!) Gently press the meat with tongs to prevent it from curling and ensure even browning.
  14. Check if the browned Pork Belly is cooked through to the center.
  15. Cut the cooked Pork Belly into bite-sized pieces.
  16. Transfer the cut Pork Belly to a serving plate.
  17. Discard most of the oil left in the frying pan after cooking the pork, leaving a small amount.
  18. Over medium-low heat, lightly stir-fry the Napa Cabbage Kimchi (100g) in the frying pan to evaporate excess moisture.
  19. Turn off the heat and add the sliced Scallions to the stir-fried Kimchi. Toss briefly. (Secret Tip!) Avoid overcooking the scallions to maintain their crisp texture.
  20. Transfer the finished Scallion Kimchi to a separate small dish.
  21. Arrange the grilled Pork Belly on top of the Sunny Lettuce on the serving plate.
  22. Spread the prepared Ssamjang over the Pork Belly.
  23. Generously top the Ssamjang-covered Pork Belly with Scallion Kimchi, then wrap everything with a Sunny Lettuce leaf and enjoy.
