Jeyuk Bokkeum (Spicy Pork Stir-Fry)

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 lbpork shoulder, sliced thinly; belly works too if you want it richer
• 3 tbspgochujang
• 1 tbspgochugaru, Korean chilli flakes
• 2 tbspsoy sauce
• 4 clovegarlic, minced
• 2 tspginger, grated
• 1 tbspcaster sugar
• 1 tbspsesame oil
• 1onion, sliced
• 3spring onions, cut into short lengths
• 1 tbspvegetable oil
• 2 tsptoasted sesame seeds

Method

1. 1

   Whisk the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar and sesame oil together into a thick paste.

2. 2

   Rub the paste through the sliced pork until every piece is red, then leave it for 20 minutes while you cut the onion and spring onions.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a wide pan over a high heat and cook the sliced onion for 2 minutes, until it has softened at the edges but still has some crunch.

4. 4

   Add the pork in one layer and leave it undisturbed for 2 minutes so the marinade catches and darkens. Then stir and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more, until the pork is cooked through and the edges have caught.

5. 5

   Toss through the spring onions, take the pan off the heat and scatter with sesame seeds. Serve with rice and something cold and crunchy alongside.
