Jae-yuk Bok-eum (제육 볶음) - Spicy Stir-fried Pork

This is one of our favorite meals that we've discovered here, and I was super excited to find a recipe.  You can make the marinade ahead, and chill the meat in the fridge for up to a day or so.  Enjoy!



Ingredients (Serves 4-5)
500g pork neck (or other pork)
1 onion, sliced thin
1 red chili (홍고추), sliced thin
2 green chilies (청양고추), sliced thin
1/2 big leek, sliced thin
1/2 spoon sesame oil
1/2 spoon sesame seeds
dash of vegetable oil for cooking

Sauce
4 spoons red pepper paste (고추장)
3 spoons apple or orange juice
2 spoons each: crushed red pepper, chopped garlic
1 spoon each: soy sauce, sugar, corn syrup, cheong ju (청주), du ban jang (두반장)
1 small spoon ginger powder
pinch of black pepper

Steps
  1. Cut pork into strips 5cm wide.  Slice veggies.
  2. Mix all sauce ingredients together.  Mix with meat and onions.  Chill ~2 hours.
  3. Coat pan with vegetable oil.  Fry meat/sauce mixture.  When the meat is almost finished, add leeks, sesame oil, chilies and sesame seeds.  Cook a little bit longer.
  4. Serve over rice

Notes:
- You can also add in whatever other veggies you want while the meat and onions are marinating.  I've made it with cabbage and mushrooms, but feel free to experiment.

- I also leave out the chilies sometimes, so don't feel bad if you can't or don't want to use them.
