Step 1
Stir soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high until a water drop sizzles and evaporates instantly, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Working in batches, lay pork slices flat on the hot skillet without crowding. Let cook 45 seconds undisturbed until edges start to crisp and fat renders.
Step 4
Flip each slice and cook 45 seconds on the other side until cooked through and edges are golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Add butter to the skillet and cook any remaining pork in batches until finished.
Step 6
Serve pork on a platter with lettuce leaves, fresh herbs, gochujang, and the dipping sauce on the side. Wrap pork in lettuce and dip as you eat.
