Steps
- 01
Use very thinly sliced pork; slice cabbage, carrot and onion. Cut scallions into 5 cm lengths and slice chili. Use a separate cutting board for raw pork.
- 02
Mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp gochugaru, 1/4 cup gochujang, 1 tsp potato starch, 1/4 tsp pepper and 1 tbsp sugar until smooth.
- 03
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and ginger about 1 minute; add thin pork and stir-fry 2–3 minutes until it changes color evenly.
- 04
Add cabbage, carrot, onion, scallion and optional chili. Cover, reduce to medium and cook about 3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- 05
Stir the sauce again, pour it into the pan and simmer over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, stirring. Continue until the pork is fully cooked and the sauce lightly thickens; remove from heat and add sesame oil.
- 06
Divide warm rice into four bowls, top with the pork, vegetables and sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds and serve. The source's optional runny egg is omitted for simpler, safer preparation.
