Koreans often cut grilled meat or poultry into bite-size pieces and eat them, wrapped in lettuce, with accompaniments such as rice, hot sauce, garlic and aromatic greens. It's a fun and convivial meal whether enjoyed with family or friends. Use medium-grain Korean or Japanese rice, such as sushi rice, or Italian short-grain rice.
