- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (289 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Dairy-free, Low carb
- Contains: gluten, pork, sesame, soy
Ingredients
- 180 g Pork belly, raw
- 12 g Garlic, raw
- 10 g Miso
- 6 g Sesame oil
- 40 g Cabbage, green, raw
- 30 g Lettuce, leaf, raw

- 0.6 g Salt
- 0.3 g Black pepper
Method
- Slice the pork belly into thick strips and season lightly with the salt and pepper.
- Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat with no added oil, since the pork releases its own fat.
- Grill the pork for 3-4 minutes per side, until deeply browned and cooked through (no pink remains).
- Thinly slice the cooked pork, and grill the whole garlic cloves alongside for the last 2 minutes until softened.
- Mix the doenjang with the sesame oil as a dip, and serve the pork wrapped in lettuce leaves with the garlic, scallion and dip.
