For a more intense flavor, marinate the pork belly for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. Adjust the amount of gochujang in the sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness. Experiment with different types of lettuce for wrapping, such as red leaf lettuce, Boston bibb, or frisée. Ensure adequate ventilation while cooking as the pork belly can produce a significant amount of smoke.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, thoroughly combine thyme, dill, rosemary, and garlic powder. Rub the herb mixture generously over both sides of the pork belly strips. Allow to rest at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
02
StepHeat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork belly strips and cook until deeply browned and crispy, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked pork belly to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving some of the rendered grease in the skillet. Once slightly cooled, cut the strips into bite-sized pieces.
03
StepIn the same skillet with the reserved grease, sauté the kimchi, garlic cloves, and scallions over medium-high heat until they begin to brown and caramelize, about 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
04
StepPrepare the sauce by whisking together doenjang, gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, sesame seeds, rice wine, and brown sugar in a small bowl until well combined and smooth.
05
StepServe the crispy pork belly pieces immediately with the prepared sauce, sautéed kimchi, garlic, and scallions. Offer an assortment of fresh lettuce leaves for wrapping, along with cooked rice, for a complete and satisfying meal.
