Korean Gochujang Pork Bowls

• 1 lb pork sirloin, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp gochujang
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

• 1 tsp vegetable oil

Steps

1. 1 In a medium bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper.
2. 2 Add the pork to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
3. 3 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
4. 4 Serve the pork over cooked rice, drizzled with any remaining sauce from the skillet.
5. 5 Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Tips

• For extra flavor, cook the marinade in the skillet for a minute after removing the pork to thicken it into a sauce.
• Feel free to add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added texture and nutrition.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of water to keep the rice moist.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a side of kimchi or a simple cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of toasted sesame oil over the finished dish adds an extra layer of flavor.
