Pork Stir-Fry Recipe

Aseung Lee
Jeyukbokkeum is a national side dish that is a staple in Korean home cooking.
It's simple, quick to make, and perfectly balanced in flavor.
It started out as a spicy gochujang condiment, but it has evolved to have different ratios of sweet, salty, and spicy depending on the region or household.
Today's pork stir-fry recipe is a "flexible version" that is based on sweet flavors, but can be spiced up with green chilies.
It's perfect for a home-cooked meal or as a bar snack.
