Gochujang Pork in Little Gem Lettuce

Since I discovered Korean Red Pepper paste Gochujang for Korean Ribs , I have been craving its heady mix sweet hot salty and spicy.

Trimmings from Fridays ribs seemed perfect for a Sunday evening self assembly meal. The spicy grilled pork is can be assembled at the table in handy serving spoons of little gem lettuce leaves, with boiled rice , sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds,

As an eating method this is good , I want to try it through the summer , grilled harissa lamb with a little tzatziki ( cucumber , mint and yoghurt) in chicory , garlic beef with salsa , prawns with thousand island in iceberg endless possibilities
