Pork Cheeks

2 lbs Pork cheeks

1 cup Aged soy sauce

1 tbs Brown sugar

2 tbs Toasted sesame oil

4 cloves Garlic, minced

1 tbs Ginger, grated

2 tbs gochujang (korean chili paste)

1 tsp black pepper

Pickled Carrots

2 cups Carrots, julienned

1 cup Rice vinegar

1 tbs sugar

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

Garnishes

12 leaves Bibb lettuce leaves

1 cup Radishes, thinly sliced

1 cup Cilantro, chopped

1 cup Peanut puffed rice

Method

Prepare the Pork Cheeks

Marinate the Pork Cheeks

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, gochujang, and black pepper. Add pork cheeks, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Cook the Pork Cheeks

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove pork cheeks from marinade, shaking off excess. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Pickled Carrots

Make the Pickling Brine

In a saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.

Pickle the Carrots

Place julienned carrots in a jar and pour the pickling brine over them. Ensure the carrots are submerged. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Assemble the Dish

Serve

On a platter, arrange the grilled pork cheeks, pickled carrots, lettuce leaves, sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, and peanut puffed rice. Allow guests to wrap their pork and garnishes in the lettuce leaves.
