Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add the marinated pork slices in a single layer and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Add 1 julienned carrot and 2 sliced green onions to the wok and stir-fry with the pork for an additional 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat, sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds over the stir fry, and toss gently before serving with steamed rice or noodles.
