4 servings
- •3 tablespoons soybean paste, doenjang
- •1 tablespoon korean chili paste, gochujang
- •1 tablespoon mirin
- •1 tablespoon sesame oil
- •2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- •1 teaspoon sugar
- •1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
- Make the ssamjang: In a medium bowl, stir together the soybean paste, chile paste, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and sugar.
- Make the salt & pepper sesame oil: In a small bowl, stir together the salt, sesame oil, and pepper.
- Heat a Korean barbecue griddle or large pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, rub a piece of pork belly around the pan to grease with the melted fat, then arrange the pork belly in the pan in a single layer, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until the pork belly is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C), 2–3 minutes per side.
- Cut the pork belly into bite-size pieces using kitchen shears, then arrange on a plate with the perilla leaves, red leaf lettuce, jalapeños, and garlic. Serve with the ssamjang and salt & pepper sesame oil.
- Enjoy!
