Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk gochujang, soy sauce, honey, and 1 tbsp sesame oil into a glaze. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles immediately.

  3. Step 3

    Working in batches, sear pork belly 2–3 minutes per side until edges char and fat renders. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Toss mushrooms and onions with remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Grill in the skillet 4 minutes, stirring once, until charred and tender.

  5. Step 5

    Return pork to the skillet, add glaze, and toss everything together for 90 seconds until glossy.

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a serving plate. Garnish with scallion and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with lettuce for wrapping.
