Ingredients

• 500 grams pork shoulder
• 60 ml soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons erythritol
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
• 3 stalks green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 8 large lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the pork shoulder and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, erythritol, minced garlic, grated ginger, and gochugaru. Mix well until the erythritol is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Add the sliced pork to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

While the pork is marinating, thinly slice the green onions. Also, slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 5

Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork in a single layer, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the edges are caramelized and the pork is cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the cooked pork from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, quickly stir-fry the bell peppers for about 2 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the pork to the skillet with the bell peppers. Add the sliced green onions and sesame seeds, tossing everything together for another minute to combine the flavors.

Step 8

Serve immediately by wrapping the pork mixture in large lettuce leaves to make lettuce wraps.
