Description
A flavorful and spicy Korean dish made with stir-fried pork, vegetables, and a blend of savory sauces.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork belly or pork shoulder, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the pork by combining gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Toss in the sliced pork, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
- Stir-fry the pork for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and slightly crispy.
- Add sliced onion, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still crunchy.
- Add chopped green onions and stir well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired, alongside steamed rice or wrapped in lettuce leaves.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more gochugaru during cooking.
- This dish can be served with steamed rice or as a lettuce wrap.
- Marinating overnight enhances the flavor.
