삼겹살

Samgyeopsal (삼겹살)

Pork belly at the table — lettuce, ssamjang, and garlic.

Heat: none on meat; ssamjang is mild-warm · Vegetarian: wraps are the point; skip meat for grilled mushrooms

Cook it yourself

No heavy marinade. Render fat, flip when the edges color. Wrap: meat + ssamjang + raw garlic or grilled garlic + a strip of chili in a lettuce leaf. Eat in one bite. This is technique more than recipe — see also Korean BBQ.
