Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding about 2 tbsp of water to the sauce will thin its consistency, preventing it from clumping and allowing it to coat the ingredients evenly.
  • Using ssamjang instead of gochujang softens its characteristic spiciness, making it perfect for those who don't prefer overly spicy food.
  • It's perfectly fine to use frozen thinly sliced pork belly; if it's already thawed, the cooking time will be slightly shorter.
  • Turning off the heat while there's still a lot of moisture and oil will make the dish bland, so the key is to stir-fry over high heat until there's almost no liquid left at the bottom of the pan.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a savory and mild umami flavor instead of spicy gochujang pork bulgogi.
  • Those who want to quickly make a cost-effective and hearty one-dish meal with thinly sliced pork belly and bean sprouts.
  • Those looking for a super simple appetizer that can be made in just 10 minutes by layering ingredients.
