Recipe 🍳

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan, add pork and stir-fry until fully cooked, then remove excess oil.
Add 3 tablespoons of universal soy sauce along with prepared onion, green onion, and green chili pepper, and lightly stir-fry.
Add 1 tablespoon of gochugaru and gradually pour in water to prevent the seasoning from burning.
Stir-fry quickly over high heat until all moisture evaporates and the sauce becomes thick and well-coated on the pork.
Turn off the heat once the sauce has reduced completely, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to finish.

Stir-fry pork until cooked, remove excess oil, then add universal soy sauce and vegetables.
Add gochugaru and a small amount of water, then simmer until the sauce thickens.
Turn off heat when all moisture has evaporated, then drizzle with sesame oil.

Cooking tips 💡

Never stir-fry gochugaru directly without adding water—this can easily burn the seasoning.
Adjust spice level by varying the amount of gochugaru, and adjust saltiness by adjusting the amount of universal soy sauce.
