- ½ cup black beans

- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
- 1
Slice the 1 lb pork belly into thin strips. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the pork; cook until browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the pork cooks, wash and tear the 4 cups lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Thinly slice the 2 red chili peppers and 3 green onions.

When the pork is crispy, remove it with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour off most of the fat, leaving about 1 tbsp in the skillet.

Reduce heat to low and whisk into the skillet the 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil, scraping up any browned bits. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the cooked pork back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Remove from heat.
