Method

1. 1 Slice the pork belly into pieces about 1 cm thick, let it sit for 10 minutes to reduce the coldness, then sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
2. 2 Mix soybean paste (doenjang) with chili paste (gochujang), minced garlic, and sesame oil to make ssamjang sauce for dipping meat.
3. 3 Wash the lettuce and Korean perilla leaves thoroughly and drain; slice a few cloves of garlic thinly and shred the green onions.
4. 4 Heat the grill, place the pork belly on it and grill for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, with the fat rendered out.
5. 5 Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces with scissors, then grill sliced garlic alongside for 3 minutes to enhance the flavor.
6. 6 Wrap the meat with vegetables, grilled garlic, green onions, and ssamjang (a type of Chinese sausage) and eat it hot right at the table.
