warningStay safe

Do not touch your eyes or face after cutting chilis; fresh chili juice causes painful burning.

  • Finely mince 1 green chili pepper
  • Crush and mince 3 cloves of garlic
  • Place the minced chili and garlic into a sauce bowl
  • Add 2 tbsp Ssamjang paste, 0.5 tbsp Gochujang, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame seeds, and 0.5 tbsp sesame oil
  • Mix well with a spoon until completely smooth and thick
lightbulb

Watch out

Use mild green chili peppers, otherwise the sauce will be too spicy and overpower the flavor of the pork.

Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw pork, and use a separate cutting board for meat to prevent cross-contamination.

  • Slice the remaining 0.5 onion into 0.5cm thick round slabs
  • Remove the stems from 7 white button mushrooms, keeping the caps intact
  • Diagonally slice 2 green chilis and thinly slice 10 garlic cloves
  • Cut 600g long pork belly strips in half for manageable length
  • Arrange the pork belly, mushroom caps, and onion slabs neatly on a serving platter

warningStay safe

Hot pork fat may splatter during grilling; maintain distance and handle tongs carefully to avoid burns from the hot pan.

  • Preheat the grill pan over medium heat
  • Once hot, place 7 mushroom caps cup-side-up along the edge of the grill
  • Lay 600g pork belly strips and 0.5 sliced onion rings flat in the center
  • Place 200g kimchi on the lower edge of the grill to sizzle in rendered pork fat
  • Grill for 4–5 minutes until clear juice beads on top of the pork, then flip with tongs
  • When both sides turn golden, use kitchen scissors to cut pork into bite-sized pieces and cook until crisp and golden brown

Watch out

Do not cut the meat too early, otherwise the juicy meat will quickly drain away and become dry and hard

do not flip the mushroom caps, keep the essential broth inside the groove

  • Flatten a washed lettuce leaf
  • Sequentially place a layer of seasoned scallion salad, a piece of crispy pork belly, a small amount of white rice (about 20 grams), as well as garlic slices and chili slices
  • Scoop in 1 teaspoon of special ssamjang
  • Wrap and seal the four corners of the lettuce into a bite-sized rice wrap, and put the whole piece directly into the mouth
lightbulb

Watch out

The lettuce wrap must be stuffed into the mouth in one whole bite, biting it apart in pieces makes the meat juices easily fall out and break.
