In Korea, this recipe, known as toejigogi kui, is made with pork belly, but it's equally delicious—and much leaner—when prepared with pork loin. And it's great for a Friday night meal because the pork can marinate all day while you're at work and can be on the table soon after you get home. To save time, have your butcher slice and pound the pork cutlets. Plus: More Pork Recipes and Tips
How to Make It
In a large glass baking dish, combine the mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, scallions, ginger, chili-garlic paste, black pepper and crushed red pepper. Add the slices of pork loin and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate the pork for 8 to 24 hours.
Light a grill. Lightly brush the grate with vegetable oil. Grill the marinated pork over a medium-hot fire until it is golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the grilled pork to 1 end of a platter and arrange the lettuce leaves on the other end. Serve the pork with the suggested condiments.
Serve With
Steamed white rice or white sticky rice.
