Directions

25 min
  1. 1

    Shred the whole head of lettuce into thick strips.

  2. 2

    Lightly sprinkle with salt, then squeeze firmly with your hands to draw out the moisture. Once a good amount of water has been released, rinse with water and wring out well.

  3. 3

    Prepare 200g of pork belly in long, thin strips.

  4. 4

    Grab a handful of the squeezed lettuce and carefully wrap it with the pork belly. Don't worry if the lettuce falls apart a little.

  5. 5

    Dust the lettuce and pork rolls with flour to taste, then pan-fry in a lightly oiled skillet until browned on all sides.

  6. 6

    Arrange any leftover lettuce on a serving plate and place the cooked rolls on top.

  7. 7

    Using the remaining oil in the pan, add the ★ seasoning, 1 knob of grated ginger, and potato starch dissolved in water to taste, and cook into a sauce.

  8. 8

    Pour the sauce over everything on the plate and serve.

Tips

Don't worry if the lettuce falls apart inside the rolls while cooking. Getting a good sear on the outside enhances the flavor, and using a generous amount of ginger really brings out the aroma.
