Gochujang Pork + Veggie Stir-Fry
Yield: 2 generous portions
SAUCE
Ingredients:
¼ C Soy sauce
¼ C Gochujang (spicy Korean chili paste)
3 T Honey
1 T Garlic, minced
1 t Ginger, minced
2 T Rice vinegar
2 T Cold water
3 t Corn starch
Juice and zest of one lime
Suce Method of Preparation:

STIR-FRY
Ingredients:
¾ Pound pork—I like to use country style-pork ribs—cut off the bone but leave the fat on
½ t Garlic salt
½ t Pepper
1 C green vegetable
Snow or sugar snap peas, broccolini, green beans, or zucchini
½ C Peppers cut in strips or chunks (red, green, or yellow—whichever color moves you)
½ C Onion cut in strips or chunks (red, yellow, white, or a combination of all three)
½ C Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
½ C Green cabbage cut in strips or chunks
½ C Canola and with a dash of sesame oil (mixed) for frying
Stir-Fry Method of Preparation:
1. While your wok is heating toss the pork strips with the garlic salt and pepper—and turn on your exhaust fan—you really need the wok to get super hot and it will get smoky
2. Add oil and get it hot
3. Stir fry the pork until is almost cooked through—stirring constantly
4. Add all the vegetables—stirring constantly
5. When veggies are cooked to your taste, give the sauce a little stir and then pour into the wok— cook until it bubbles—add a bit of water if it looks too thick
(If you like it spicy, serve some extra Gouchujang)
Plating and garnish:
Freshly cooked hot rice—Basmati or long-grain Jasmine
Add generous helpings of stir-fry mixture
Sprinkle with:
2 Scallions, small dice
1 T Cilantro, minced
2 t Sesame seeds
