Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb pork sirloin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through, then remove and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp gochujang paste. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in 1 cup chopped kimchi, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the kimchi softens and releases its juices.
Step 3: Return the pork to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and glazed with the sauce. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
