Step 1
Mix gochujang, minced garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high until it's hot, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add pork belly slices to the dry skillet and sear without moving until the bottom turns golden and crispy, 3–4 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the pork and cook the other side until golden, about 2 minutes. The surface should look caramelized.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the gochujang glaze over the pork, stirring to coat evenly.
Step 6
Cook for 1 minute until the glaze is sticky and coats the meat. Serve immediately with lettuce, perilla, and pickled radish.
