Instructions

Step 1: Slice 6 scallions into 2-inch pieces and separate the white and green parts. In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp sesame oil to create the marinade.
Step 2: Toss 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder in the marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the white parts of the scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the marinated pork to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes until pork is cooked through and caramelized edges appear.
Step 5: Stir in the green parts of the scallions and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds on top before serving with steamed rice.
