Ingredients
- Pork belly
- 1 pound, sliced

- Honey
- 1 tablespoon
- Garlic

- Ginger
- 1 tablespoon, minced

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.

- To serve, place a few pieces of grilled pork belly in a lettuce leaf, add a scoop of steamed rice, and wrap it up. Enjoy with your favorite banchan on the side!
