Cheese Gochujang Pork Stir-fry
Ingredients
Sauce
Steps
Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and marinate 15 minutes in a mix of gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
~5 min
Why: Even a short marinade lets the seasoning soak in, so the flavor isn't just surface-level heat.
Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the onion and green onion over medium heat.
~2 min
Add the marinated pork and stir-fry over high heat 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
~6 min
Watch out: Low heat makes the pan watery and the seasoning just slides off — cook it fast over high heat.
Add the sliced Korean chili pepper and stir-fry once more.
~1 min
Push the meat to one side of the pan, top with mozzarella, cover, and melt over low heat for 3 minutes.
~3 min
Once the cheese melts, turn off the heat and transfer straight to a plate.
~0 min
Tips
- —
Add the cheese right before turning off the heat so it melts smoothly without burning.
- —
Fry rice in the leftover cheesy sauce for a great finishing dish.
- —
Swap the Korean chili for bacon for a milder, richer flavor.
Storage
Keeps refrigerated 2 days — reheat in a pan rather than the microwave to keep the cheese's texture.
