Step 1
Slice the 1 lb pork belly into thin strips. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the pork; cook until browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
While the pork cooks, wash and tear the 4 cups lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Thinly slice the 2 red chili peppers and 3 green onions.
Step 3
When the pork is crispy, remove it with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour off most of the fat, leaving about 1 tbsp in the skillet.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low and whisk into the skillet the 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil, scraping up any browned bits. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the cooked pork back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Add the pork mixture, sliced chilies, green onions, and 0.5 cup black beans to the lettuce bowl. Toss everything together.
Step 7
Sprinkle with the 1 tbsp sesame seeds and serve immediately.
