Recipe Notes

Q: Can I use canned Pineapple? A: YES! Make sure to drain the juice and use pineapple. Fresh, ripe Pineapple is the best option, but whatever you have on hand. Q: Can I use Ground beef or pork? A: Yes! Pork, a mix of both Pork and Chicken or ground beef. Ground beef has more fat unless it is extra lean, so maybe you could spoon out some leftover fat, before serving the meat. Gochujang could be found in Korean/ Asian Markets, International, even some Krogers carry it. Or you can find it online! You can also sub it with Sriracha. Purple leaves on the picture: Radicchio, sometimes known as Italian chicory. It has a bitter and spicy taste and I really didn't care that much for the taste. It looked pretty while taking pictures, but in reality, I really didn't like it. So if you like Radicchio, by all means, use it, but if you don't I recommend any type of lettuce and the best one is Boston Butterhead Lettuce. That's my favorite lettuce. Add Soy sauce to please your taste buds. Also, you may use freshly chopped garlic and/or onion
