Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp gochujang, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger to create the marinade. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated pork in a single layer and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the pork is cooked through and starting to caramelize.
Step 3: Add 1 medium julienned carrot and 1 medium thinly sliced green bell pepper to the pork. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 3 chopped scallions. Serve immediately over 4 cups steamed white rice. Garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for a nutty finish.
