Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s marinate the pork neck. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well with the pork, then let it marinate for about 30 minutes. (If you’re short on time, even 10 minutes will help!) This step is crucial for tenderizing the meat and allowing the flavors to penetrate.
Step 2
While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the green onion diagonally into large pieces and the onion into strips. Finely chop the Korean chili pepper. (No need to chop extra garlic as it’s already in the sauce!)
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the marinated pork. Stir-fry until the pork is no longer pink. Be careful not to overcook it, as it can become tough. Cook just until the raw color disappears from the surface.
Step 4
Once the pork is partially cooked, add all the prepared sauce ingredients to the pan. Stir everything together thoroughly to coat the pork evenly. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, allowing the sauce to meld with the pork.
Step 5
When the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the pork nicely, add the sliced onions, green onions, and chili peppers. Stir-fry until the vegetables are cooked to your desired tenderness. If you prefer them crisp, cook for a shorter time; if you like them softer, cook a bit longer. Finally, turn off the heat and drizzle with a little sesame oil for a fragrant finish. Your delicious stir-fried pork is ready!
