Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp gochujang, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 tsp sesame oil to create the marinade. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder and mix thoroughly to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated pork in a single layer and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until pork is cooked through and edges start to caramelize.
Step 3: Add 4 sliced scallions to the skillet and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until scallions are tender but still vibrant.
Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry. Toss gently and serve immediately with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
