Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until smooth to form the stir-fry sauce.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork belly and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the edges start to crisp and the pork is cooked through.
Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 4 sliced scallions to the pan, stir-frying for 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 4: Pour the prepared gochujang sauce over the pork and scallions, stirring quickly to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the pork.
Step 5: Remove from heat and drizzle 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil over the dish, tossing gently. Season with 1/4 tsp black pepper and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
