Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Add 1 lb pork belly cubes and marinate for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the marinated pork belly pieces in a single layer and cook without moving for 4-5 minutes until the edges are deeply browned and crispy.
Step 3: Stir the pork to turn and cook another 4-5 minutes until crispy on all sides and cooked through.
Step 4: Add 1 medium julienned carrot and 3 sliced green onions to the skillet, stirring for 2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Step 5: Drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil over the stir fry, toss to combine, and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
