Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 5 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger to make the sauce.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork belly to the bowl and toss until fully coated. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4: Add the marinated pork belly to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 4-5 minutes without stirring to get a slight char, then stir and cook for another 3 minutes until pork is cooked through and edges are crispy.
Step 5: Stir in 3 sliced green onions and 1/2 tsp black pepper, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving with steamed rice.
