Gotgamssam - Traditional Korean Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

Rice

2 cups, cooked

Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)

2 tablespoons

Kimchi

1 cup

Green onions

2, chopped

Sesame seeds

1 tablespoon

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Lettuce leaves

8 large leaves

Pork belly

1 pound, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions to create the marinade.
3. Immerse the pork belly slices in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them soak in the flavors for at least 10 minutes.
4. Place the marinated pork belly slices on the grill, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are thoroughly cooked and exhibit a slight char.
5. Remove the pork belly from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
6. Assemble the Gotgamssam by taking a lettuce leaf and placing a slice of grilled pork belly on top. Add a spoonful of kimchi and a small dollop of gochujang.
7. Fold the lettuce leaf around the filling, creating a wrap.
8. Serve the Gotgamssam immediately, with a side of cooked rice.
