Korean Grilled Pork Lettuce Wraps
Korean-style grilled pork lettuce wraps feature gochujang-and-sesame-marinated pork shoulder, pan-seared in thin slices and wrapped in cool lettuce leaves with steamed rice, scallion, and a spoon of ssamjang. The combination balances char, sweetness, and heat, finished with sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime for brightness.
