Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 oz thinly sliced pork belly and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until edges are crispy and golden.
Step 2: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 3 sliced scallions to the skillet, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Pour the sauce over the pork and scallions in the skillet, toss to coat evenly, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the pork.
Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately with steamed rice or greens.
