Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound pork shoulder thinly sliced
1 head Boston lettuce leaves separated

Marinade

1/4 cup gochujang
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ginger grated
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Garnishes

1 cup kimchi chopped
2 tablespoons green onions sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

1 In a large bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2 Add the thinly sliced pork shoulder to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
3 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
4 While the pork is cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and separating them. Pat dry with paper towels.
5 Once the pork is done, remove from heat and set aside.
6 To assemble the wraps, place a few slices of pork in the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with chopped kimchi, sliced green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
7 Serve immediately, allowing diners to wrap the lettuce leaves around the filling to enjoy.
