  • 1.3 lb (600g) pork belly (pork shoulder or leg, beef, chicken, shrimp, tofu, etc.)
  • 1/2 tbsp neutral-tasting oil
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 17 lettuce leaves, about 5 oz (150g) in total
  • 1/4 yellow onion
  • 3-4 cups hot cooked rice, about 1 cup (210g) for each serving
  • soft-boiled eggs (or fried eggs), optional, to serve
  • generous pinch of toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
  • 2 tbsp Korean chili paste (gochujang)
  • 1 tbsp Korean chili pepper flakes (gochugaru)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • small pinch of MSG (optional)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp Korean chili pepper flakes (gochugaru)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the green onions, separating the greens and whites. Finely chop the garlic.

  2. 2

    In a small container, mix together Korean chili paste, Korean chili pepper flakes, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, corn syrup, mirin, black pepper to taste, water, cornstarch and MSG (if using).

  3. 3

    In a large pan, heat the oil (1/2 tbsp) over high heat. Once it gets nice and hot, add in the pork belly. (If your pan is not big enough, you can do this in two batches.) Cook for 4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

  5. 5

    Divide the rice into serving bowls. Add a generous amount of pork and salad. Optionally, top with a soft-boiled egg (or fried egg).
