Step 1
Score the pork belly skin in a crosshatch pattern, cutting through just the fat, not the meat.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until smoking hot, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Place pork skin-side down in the skillet and sear 6–7 minutes without moving until skin crisps and browns deeply.
Step 4
Flip pork skin-side up. Mix gochujang and soy sauce, then brush all over the meat side.
Step 5
Cook 5 more minutes, then scatter sliced onions around the pork and cook until they soften, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Slice pork into strips. Serve over warm rice with lettuce leaves, kimchi, and pan onions on the side.
