Korean Pork Belly Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

These deeply savory korean pork belly lettuce wraps walk a fine line between a light meal and and indulgent feast a line you may not have known existed until now. The unctuous, fatty pork is a rich treat for any meat lover, while the crisp lettuce, pickled radish, and sweet rice bring balance and a sense of brightness. The best way to serve these is family style so that diners can assemble their own wraps according to their tastes: putting rice in the wrap or enjoying it on the side, using more sauce or less, or doubling down on the spicy pickled radishes. That said, rice in the wrap, a light drizzle of the intensely savory sauce and three or four slices of radish is just about perfect, like a tiny korean taco. Though these take some time to prepare, if you make the meat and pickles ahead of time, and store them in the refrigerator, the wraps can come together very quickly for an easy weeknight meal. Once you try this recipe, you may fall in love with the whole concept and start playing around with different meats, condiments and overall flavor profiles. The possibilities are endless.
