Recipe

Divide the prepared ground pork into three portions.
For each portion, create a seasoning by mixing the basic soy sauce seasoning with gochujang or doenjang according to preference. (For added umami, you can also add oyster sauce, chicken stock, or seasoned salt.)
To eliminate gamey odors, add black pepper to all seasoned pork and mix well.
Prepare a frying pan and spread the seasoned pork thinly to ensure quick heat transfer.
Stir gently with chopsticks over high heat, breaking up any clumps.
Even if moisture from the pork is released during cooking, do not stop and maintain high heat until all the moisture has evaporated.
Once the moisture has completely evaporated and the pork is lightly browned and crumbly, turn off the heat.
Allow the finished stir-fried pork to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to use as a topping or seasoning for various dishes.

Season the ground pork by mixing it with soy sauce, gochujang, doenjang, oligosaccharide, and black pepper, respectively.
Spread the pork thinly in a pan and stir-fry over high heat with chopsticks, rolling it around.
Continue stir-frying until all released moisture has evaporated and the pork is crumbly, then finish.

Cooking tips

If you're not confident in your cooking, adding a little sweetness (like oligosaccharide) will greatly improve the flavor balance.
The moisture released when stir-frying the seasoned pork contains gamey odors, so it must be completely evaporated over high heat to achieve a clean and crumbly texture.
Ground pork spoils in 2-3 days if left raw, but by stir-frying and storing it like this, it can be kept for up to 10 days without any odor.
