Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp minced ginger, and 1 tbsp sesame oil to create a spicy marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder to the marinade and toss well, letting it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated pork and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
Step 4: Add 6 stalks of scallions cut into 2-inch pieces to the skillet and stir-fry with the pork for 2 minutes until the scallions are tender but still vibrant.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and serve hot with steamed rice.
