Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 tbsp gochujang until sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Add 1 lb pork belly slices (1/4 inch thick) to the marinade, mixing well to coat every piece. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove pork belly slices from marinade, letting excess drip off.
Step 4: Grill pork belly slices for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through, with edges crisp and caramelized.
Step 5: Transfer grilled pork belly to a serving plate, sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
Step 6: Serve immediately with fresh butter lettuce leaves for wrapping, allowing diners to make lettuce wraps with the flavorful pork.
