HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.

02

Add the thinly sliced pork belly to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

03

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

04

Add the marinated pork belly to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through.

05

Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the pork. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

06

Serve the Korean Gochujang Pork Belly Stir-fry immediately with steamed white rice.
