3 stalks green onion, sliced into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • 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.

KOREAN PORK CURRY



Korean Pork Curry image

Mild curry dish popular in Korea, includes ingredients you can find in your local grocery store and Korean/Asian market. The 'Ottogi' version of the curry simply leaves out the meat, making this a great dish for vegetarians. Feel free to add bell peppers. It is important to note that the curry powder used in this recipe is a pre-made mixture and not regular curry powder you can buy in every supermarket. I personally use Assi brand Korean products in my kitchen. For this recipe, I used 'Assi curry powder, mild-hot.' Serve over rice.
