Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons gochujang, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon minced ginger until smooth to make the glaze.
Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound thinly sliced pork belly and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pork starts to crisp and render fat.
Step 3: Pour the prepared gochujang glaze over the pork belly and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the pork beautifully.
Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 3 sliced scallions. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds before serving.
