2 lb pork belly strips or pre-cut
1 tsp thyme (fresh or dry)
1 tsp dill weed (fresh or dry)
1 tsp rosemary (fresh or dry)
1 tsp garlic powder
lettuce varieties (red leaf lettuce, perilla leaves, Boston bibb, frisee)
1 garlic bulb, peeled

1 tbsp sesame oil

1
1. Rub on the herbs and garlic powder to each of the pork belly. Let sit for about 15 minutes.
2
2. Wash and prepare the lettuce leaf varieties under cold water. Set on serving plates.
3
3. Cook pork strips on non-stick pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the pork. Cook about 7 minutes on each side or until well-browned. Remove to a paper-lined plate to remove excess oil.
4
4. Meanwhile, make the samjang sauce by mixing the last 7 ingredients in the list above. For a spicier sauce, add more gochujang (hot pepper paste).
5
5. With the remaining fatty oil, saute the garlic cloves and onion discs for about 3 minutes or until nicely charred. Drain and set aside.
6
6. Cut the pork strips into bite size pieces and transfer to a serving plate. Enjoy with lettuce varieties, rice, and samjang sauce.

*If you are pressed for time, you can skip the herb rub altogether and purchase ready-made samjang sauce at the Korean market. This will cut prepping and cooking time in half.
