Spicy stir-fried pork

Dwaejigogi-bokkeum 돼지고기볶음

What kind of side dish looks nice and special but is very simple to make? Hot soup is a good answer but something fatty will also be a good choice, as long as it’s very delicious.

Spicy-stir fried pork is the perfect dish that I was thinking of. Just follow the recipe and make a delicious, irresistible, spicy, shiny, stir-fried pork dish in 15 minutes! I posted the video and the recipe years ago on my website, and it’s also one of my cookbook recipes, but this updated version is slightly modified and improved.

This time I used pre-cut pork sold at a Korean grocery store, but you can also just get pork belly at your local butcher and cut it into think pieces about 1/8 inch thick. You could also replace pork belly with chicken breast, slightly frozen so you can slice it thinly and nicely.

    Hi Maangchi

    I have a few questions,

    1. Would it be possible to use pork butt instead of pork belly?

    2. Can I prepare all the ingredients and marinade it ahead of time, portion it out and freeze it so I can enjoy it whenever I want?

    Thanks!

    This recipe was excellent! My local Korean restaurant includes mandolin shredded carrot, so I did likewise in mine. I can’t wait to try this sauce in dak bokkem.

    Spicy Stir-fried pork has always been my favorite dish at Korean Restaurant. I can’t really cook until I discovered your recipes, and this is my very first attempt cooking this. I am so very happy that I can now cook this dish at home. Thanks so much Maangchi!

    This recipe was wonderful and full of flavor. I served it with a side of Oi-muchim (spicy cucumber salad) which complimented the spicy pork well.

    I have tried making several of your recipes and feel like I can finally do a little experimenting with them. Tonight I made a modified version of this spicy stir-fried pork belly in my FireDisc cooker. I cut the pork belly into matchsticks and cooked until crispy and much of the fat had rendered out. I then scoped it aside and added the sliced onion to the fat cooking until soft. I then scooped onion aside and added cubed zucchini. Once zucchini started to soften, I added the seasonings as instructed above, mixed well and cooked for about 5 minutes to get everything cooked down. I then scooped all the mixture to the side and added 2 cups water to the center with a 1lb bag of rice cake (disc shaped). Cooked until tender, mixed everything up and served with sesame seed garnish.
