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.
- Add the sliced pork belly to the marinade and toss well to ensure every piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Remove the pork belly from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the pork belly for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is nicely charred and cooked through.
- Remove the pork belly from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- 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!
