The following recipe has been tested and edited by SBS Food and may differ slightly from the podcast.
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients except for the pork in a large bowl and mix well. Add the pork, turn to coat and leave to marinate in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight.
Place an oiled chargrill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, in batches, for 2–3 minutes, turning a few times, until cooked and slightly charred around the edges. Wipe out the pan after each batch, adding more oil when necessary.
To serve, place a lettuce leaf in the palm of your hand, top with warm rice, kim chi, a piece of pork and extra chilli paste (if using) and roll to enclose.
