Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger to create a marinade. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder and toss well to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork slices and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
Step 3: Add 1 sliced onion and 1 julienned red bell pepper to the skillet and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Stir in 1 tbsp sesame oil and 3 sliced green onions, cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds on top before serving.
