- Heat skillet or wok over medium heat and toast your sesame seeds until golden brown. Remove from wok/skillet and turn heat to high.Add sesame oil into the hot wok or skillet.
- Wring out the liquids from the meat using your hands. Once the oil is hot, add half of the meat using tongs spreading them around the skillet. Let them sear on one side first then stir until all is cooked and have a nice brown color. Do not overcook the meat so it stays tender. Remove from skillet using tongs and do the same on the other half of meat. Set meat aside once all done.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more of sesame oil if needed. Add the carrots and stir fry for a few seconds until tender-crisp. (see Note 1) Add back the cooked meat to the skillet and the toasted sesame seeds and green onions stir a couple of times until fully mixed. Transfer into a serving dish.
- Serve with Kimchi and rice while still warm.
