Tips for Experienced Cooks
Once your pork is marinated, give it a quick sear on high heat before turning down the temperature. This will add a beautiful caramelization that enhances the flavor. Furthermore, consider adding a bit of mirin or sake to the marinade to introduce an additional layer of complexity to the flavor profile. Experiment with different types of honey or soy sauce to fine-tune the sweetness and umami balance to your liking.
Step 1: Prepare the marinade
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the following ingredients:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Add the sliced pork to the marinade and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Stir-fry the vegetables
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the sliced onions and bell peppers and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 3: Cook the pork
Add the marinated pork to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Serve
Serve the stir-fry over a bed of cauliflower rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
