Spicy Korean Pork Stir-fry
This Spicy Korean Pork Stir-fry is quick and easy to make on given weeknight, and packed with great flavors! Tender pork strips are stir-fried with onion, garlic, ginger, chilies, and spring onion in a spicy-sweet and smoky Korean style sauce. Super simple and SO delicious!
When I first made my Creamy Spicy Korean Udon Noodles with Bulgogi Chicken, I knew that the marinade for the chicken was a keeper.
I’ve used pretty much the same marinade in that epic dish to create this epic Spicy Korean Pork Stir-fry. And it is SO BOMB, and sooo incredibly tasty with a bowl of steamed rice! 😋
This dish is essentially pork bulgogi (jeyuk bokkeum), except that we’re stir-frying instead of grilling the marinated meat (although bulgogi is sometimes stir-fried too). Also, there’s no grated Asian pear or apple in the marinade like there often is in a typical bulgogi marinade.
Why This Recipe Works
- It’s quick and easy to make on any given weeknight. The longest part is allowing the pork to marinate. The stir-fry after marinating goes by in just 10 minutes!
- It’s full of spicy, sweet, and smoky flavors thanks to gochujang (Korean chili pepper paste) and other delicious ingredients.
- Honey is used to sweeten this dish instead of sugar, and it adds a lovely warming sweet tone.
- The flavor-packed marinade for the pork doubles as the sauce for the stir-fry. So efficient, no?
- It is a one wok wonder. All you need is some aromatics, onion, and the marinated pork, and you’ll have yourself an incredible Korean main dish on the table in no time!
