Spicy Korean BBQ-style Pork

by Alvin Zhou • featured in 5 Globally Inspired Spicy Dishes

Ingredients  for 4 servings 

• 1 ½ lb boneless pork shoulder, or pork belly, chilled or frozen for easier slicing
• ½ onion, sliced into thin strips
• 3 stalks green onion, sliced into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• ¼ cup korean red chili paste, gochujang
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice wine
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• sesame seed, to garnish
• rice, to serve
• Slice the pork into extremely thin slices, then transfer to a large bowl. This works best when the pork is super cold or partially frozen.
• Add in all of the ingredients besides the canola oil, then mix until the pork and the vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade.
• Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a pan over high heat, add pork, being sure not to crowd the pan, stir-fry the pork in batches until slightly crispy on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. If you’re using pork belly, cook for a bit longer, around 6-7 minutes.
