Heat a Korean barbecue griddle or large pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, rub a piece of pork belly around the pan to grease with the melted fat, then arrange the pork belly in the pan in a single layer, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until the pork belly is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C), 2–3 minutes per side.

Cut the pork belly into bite-size pieces using kitchen shears, then arrange on a plate with the perilla leaves, red leaf lettuce, jalapeños, and garlic. Serve with the ssamjang and salt & pepper sesame oil.
