- 1 small white onion, puréed in a blender or food processor
- 1⁄4 cup gochujang (Korean red chile paste)
- 2 tbsp. gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 2 tbsp. honey powder or brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. mirin
- 1 tbsp. light soy sauce
- One 1⁄2-inch knob of ginger, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 lb. pork belly, sliced 1⁄8 inch thick
- 1⁄2 lb. pork shoulder, sliced 1⁄8 inch thick
- 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced, for garnish
- Steamed rice, for serving
- Lettuce or perilla leaves, for wrapping (optional)
- In a large bowl, add the onion, gochujang, gochugaru, honey powder, mirin, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and 1 tablespoon water; stir to combine. Add the pork, stirring to coat, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Let the pork sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. In a large cast-iron skillet over high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil until lightly smoking. Add the marinated pork, as many slices as will fit in one layer, and up to 2 tablespoons extra marinade if you have any. Cook, turning frequently with tongs, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Pour out any excess fat, rinse or wipe the pan clean, and repeat with any remaining pork.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish the meat with the sesame seeds and scallion. Serve with steamed rice and lettuce or perilla leaves for wrapping if desired.
