This Korean-inspired stir-fry packs an absolute punch: it’s got spice, tender strips of pork and umami in spades! Mix it up with chicken thighs instead of pork if you fancy a different take on the dish.

Ingredients

400g (14 oz) pork scotch fillets (also known as pork neck or pork shoulder steaks), thinly sliced

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 onion, sliced

½ cup finely shredded carrot

4 spring onions (scallions), cut into batons

Spicy marinade:

3 tablespoons gochujang*

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tsp white sugar

1 teaspoon finely grated ginger

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps

In a large bowl mix together the marinade ingredients. Add pork slices to the marinade and toss to coat.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the pork and all the marinade. Spread the pork out in the pan and allow it to sear for about half a minute before stir-frying. Repeat the searing and stir-frying process another 2-3 times or until the pork is just cooked. Then add the carrot and spring onion and stir-fry for another half a minute. Turn the heat off and sprinkle with sesame seeds and toss through the lemon zest.
Serve with steamed rice and sprinkle with extra sesame seeds.
Notes:

– Gochujang is a fermented Korean chilli paste. You can find it in the Asian aisle of most supermarkets or from an Asian grocer.

Soooooo Good! Easy and delicious

Wanted something quick to go with some leftover basmati rice. Quick search on Marion’s Kitchen (my go-to) and found this. Quick prep, quick cook but slow down to eat and enjoy every morsel. Simply delicious.
