Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 12 oz thinly sliced pork tenderloin strips in a single layer. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes, tossing frequently until pork is browned and cooked through.
Step 3: Lower heat to medium and stir in 2 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Cook and stir for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the pork.
Step 4: Add 4 sliced scallions and 1/4 tsp black pepper, tossing for 1 minute to warm the scallions without wilting them.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top, and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
