Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork belly and toss to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork belly slices in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until caramelized and cooked through with slightly crispy edges.
Step 3: To serve, arrange 8 large green leaf lettuce leaves on a platter. Fill each leaf with cooked pork belly, 1/2 cup julienned cucumber, 1/2 cup julienned carrot, and sprinkle 2 tbsp sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top. Wrap and enjoy immediately.
