Ingredients
- 1 pound pork shoulder, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice wine, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the thinly sliced pork shoulder to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator for best results.
Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork, including all the marinade, to the pan.
Cook while stirring occasionally for about 7-10 minutes until the pork is cooked through and starts to caramelize.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and continue to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.
Add the chopped green onions and give everything a quick toss to combine.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or with lettuce leaves for wrapping.
