Quick & Easy Jeyuk Bokkeum (Korean Spicy Pork)
Description
Quick & Easy Jeyuk Bokkeum features thinly sliced pork shoulder stir-fried with julienned onions and carrots, and optionally chopped green cabbage. The pork is cooked halfway in oil before adding vegetables, which are cooked briefly to maintain some texture.
The sauce blends soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, mirin, toasted sesame oil, Korean chili paste (gochujang), and chili powder (gochugaru), creating a spicy, slightly sweet coating that thickens during cooking. The heat level can be adjusted by changing amounts of gochujang and gochugaru.
The finished dish is garnished with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. It offers a tender, flavorful pork stir-fry with bright spicy notes, suitable for serving with rice or as part of a Korean meal.
