Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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

Steps:

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.
Sprinkle a bit of sesame seeds on top, then serve with rice!
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use a variety of peppers: This will give your chicken a more complex flavor. Some good options include gochugaru (Korean chili powder), cayenne pepper, and paprika.
Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you like your chicken really spicy, add more peppers. If you prefer a milder dish, use fewer peppers or omit them altogether.
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the spicy sauce.
