Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons gochujang, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 pounds of thinly sliced pork shoulder to the marinade, mixing well to coat each piece. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pork slices for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, thinly slice 4 stalks of green onions and toss with 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds in a small bowl to make the scallion salad.
  5. Step 5: Serve the grilled pork slices hot alongside the sesame scallion salad for a balanced, flavorful meal.
