I tried to make grilled pork belly, but it didn't turned our as I had hoped.

Then I found out about this food, never tried it before but after reading the recipe, the simpleness of it and seeing the pictures made me want to try it. 

Oh by the way it's a Korean food for those who are wondering :)

Basically it's BBQ pork belly eaten with BBQ garlic, green chili or sometimes I use jalapeno (but seeds are removed) wrapped with lettuce seasoned with 2 types of sauces.

Ingredients :
- sliced pork belly (approx. around 300 - 500 gr)
- garlic (1-2 whole bulb)
- green chilies / jalapeno divided in half (sideways)
- mushroom (I used shiitake sliced and other mushrooms)
- lettuce leafs

Sauces :
1. Sesame oil :
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp salt

2. Ssamjang :
- 1 Tbsp Korean soya bean paste (usually in a brown plastic box)
- 1 Tbsp Korean hot pepper paste (usually in a red box)
- 1 chopped green onion (I didn't use this)
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp sesame seeds

How to make :
- BBQ the pork belly, garlic, and green chili / jalapeno all together with no seasoning at all, don't turn it too much, once in each side is better
- For the sauce, beat the sauce ingredients in each bowl until it mixed well.
- Open 1 big washed lettuce leaf , insert the BBQ the pork belly, garlic, and green chili, add the 2 sauces in moderate amount, fold and eat it :)
See... I told you it's really simple and delicious YUM...
