How to Prepare

Cut the pork tenderloin in half crosswise and season with salt.

Place the gochujang, garlic, honey, sesame oil, and ginger into a medium bowl and stir to combine. Transfer a ¼ cup of the gochujang mixture to a small bowl and stir in the rice wine vinegar; and set this bowl aside for serving.

Add the pork tenderloin to the bowl with the remaining sauce and toss to coat.

Lightly coat an air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the pork in the basket and cook at 350°F (180°C) for 17-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is golden brown. Remove the pork from the air fryer and set it aside to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Place the slices of pork in the lettuce leaves, along with the cucumber, green onions and cooked rice. Serve with the small bowl of reserved sauce alongside.
