Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger until smooth.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated pork strips in a single layer and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pork is browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Pour in 2 tbsp water to loosen the sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the pork.
Step 5: Remove from heat, toss in 3 chopped scallions, and sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving over steamed rice or noodles.
