Baek Jong-won's Scallion Pork Stir-fry

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Cold belly pork yields good fat, but frozen belly pork may release less oil. In such cases, add a small amount of vegetable oil to help the fat render more easily.
• Always cook sugar before adding soy sauce—this ensures sweetness penetrates the meat and reacts with the oil, enhancing both flavor and color depth.
• If the seasoning looks like it might burn after adding red pepper flakes, especially before the scallions release moisture, add a little water to maintain moisture and prevent burning.
• Avoid slicing scallions too finely—they tend to break down during cooking. Cutting them into large pieces preserves their crisp texture and creates a more visually appealing dish.
