Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Separate lettuce leaves and wash thoroughly then pat dry. Slice garlic thinly and mix sesame oil with salt and pepper in a small dipping bowl.

2

Heat the Pan

Heat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium high heat until very hot. No oil is needed as pork belly releases its own fat during cooking.

3

Grill the Pork

Place pork belly slices in the hot pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy at the edges. Add garlic slices to the pan and cook until golden.
