Ingredients

• Pork belly - 300 grams, sliced into thin strips
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lettuce leaves (Butter or Romaine) - 8 leaves
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, toasted
• Korean red pepper flakes (Gochugaru) - 1 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Add the pork belly strips and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork belly strips and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and cooked through.
3. While the pork is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing together soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and a sugar substitute to taste in a small bowl.
4. Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
5. To serve, place a few strips of pork belly onto a lettuce leaf, sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and add a pinch of Korean red pepper flakes if desired.
6. Drizzle with the dipping sauce and wrap the lettuce around the filling. Enjoy your wraps!
