Ingredients:

12 large leaves of red leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce
1 lb. wheat gluten or soy protein strips

For marinade:

2 TB soy sauce
4 TB gochujang (fermented korean red pepper) paste
2 TB water
2 TB honey
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1 TB ginger, grated
3 green onions, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 TB Korean pear, minced finely (substitute any pear)

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and julienned
1 carrot, peeled and julienned
2 TB white vinegar
1/2 TB sugar
1 tsp. sesame oil

Vegetarian kim chi, as needed
4 oz. bean thread noodles, prepared
1.5 cups mung bean sprouts
4 scallions, thinly sliced

Directions:

Combine marinade ingredients and marinate gluten/soy strips for one hour. Meanwhile, combine cucumber/carrot strips, vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil in a bowl and refrigerate.

Remove gluten/soy from marinade, reserving marinade, and grill over hot coals until browned and crispy on all sides, brushing on more marinade at the very end of cooking. Toss grilled gluten/soy in remaining marinade.

Serve cucumber/carrot salad, grilled gluten/soy, bean thread noodles, bean sprouts, and kim chi on a platter with the lettuce leaves. Place a bit of all the ingredients in the leaf and wrap up to eat.
