Time 8h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds pork belly
5 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons sake, or any good white wine
2 tablespoons mirin
1 cup gochujang, Korean fermented red chile paste, available at Asian specialty stores or online
1 large onion
3 scallions
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Marinade: The day before cooking, slice pork belly into bite-size pieces: 2-inch squares, ¼-inch thin. (Note: Cut the pieces thinner than shown in the video.) Set aside. Smash and peel the garlic, then finely chop. Use the flat part of your knife to press down on the garlic to further break it down, then continue to mince. Place in a mixing bowl along with the pork, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and gochujang. Mix the ingredients together and set aside.
  • Peel and trim the onion, then slice in half. Cut each half into thin half-moon slices. Place the sliced onions on top of the pork mixture, but do not mix. Cover the bowl with plastic and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Garnish: Prior to cooking, trim and discard scallion roots. Fill a bowl with water. Line up scallions in a flat, even layer and use a sharp knife to cut them thinly, employing a slicing motion, not a chopping motion. (Slicing with minimal pressure will keep the scallions bright and vibrant.) Place sliced scallions in water and move around to remove impurities. Drain in a colander, then wrap in a clean towel and squeeze out remaining liquid. Spread scallions on a paper towel-lined plate to further dry while cooking the pork.
  • Pork: Remove marinated pork from refrigerator and mix in the onions. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, 1 minute. Add ½ tablespoon oil and continue heating, 30 seconds. Add some of the pork and onion mixture in an even layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Lower heat to medium and let the pork cook undisturbed until caramelized on one side, shaking the pan occasionally, 4-5 minutes. Flip meat over and cook the other side, 3-4 more minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining pork in batches. Garnish with scallions and serve with white rice.

KOREAN FRIED PORK WITH STIR-FRIED CELERY



Korean Fried Pork With Stir-Fried Celery image

I kind of altered and combined 2 recipes to make this. The pork recipe is an alteration of toejigogi kui, a spicy Korean pork dish. Instead of serving with kimchi, I made the sauteed celery. Serve with steamed white rice.

Provided by TJ Lombard

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Korean

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 green onions, minced
2 tablespoons rice wine
2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, crushed
¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes, divided
1 pound pork loin, cut into strips
¼ cup canola oil, divided
4 stalks celery, cut into strips and leaves reserved

Steps:

  • Mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, tomato paste, green onions, rice wine, 1 tablespoon sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add pork; cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan, until slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Saute for 1 minute. Add remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Add celery leaves; cook and stir until celery is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes more. Serve alongside pork.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around while you're cooking.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than fry.
  • Use a high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over a high heat, so make sure your pan is hot before you add the food. This will help to sear the food and prevent it from sticking.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the food constantly will help to ensure that it cooks evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Add the sauce at the end: The sauce should be added to the stir-fry at the very end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Spicy Korean Pork Stir-Fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are crisp and colorful. The spicy sauce adds a nice kick of heat, and the rice provides a starchy base for the dish. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
