Korean Spicy Pork

This dish is a simple take on Korean Spicy Pork. I used the velveting technique I've shown in the past to cook this pork. It's the absolute best way to make stir fry meat. The meat comes out perfectly tender and juicy. This is a perfect dish to ring in the new year. You  may have been afraid to try Korean Food out, so this is the perfect introduction to making it at home. It's super easy and satisfying. You can substitute the pork in this dish with beef or chicken if you have any dietary concerns.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Large Boneless Pork Chops diced into strips
  • 1 Egg White
  • 4 Tbsp. Rice Wine
  • 1 Tbsp. Corn Starch
  • 1 Korean Pear pureed
  • 3 Tbsp. Hoisin Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tsp. Red Pepper Paste
  • 1 Tsp. Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. Fish Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. Sesame Seed Oil

Method
 

  1. Mix your egg white, corn starch, and rice wine together. Then marinate your strips in the mixture for 30 minutes.
  2. As the meat is marinating, mix together pureed Korean Pear, Hoisin Sauce, Soy Sauce, Red Pepper Paste, Sugar, Minced Garlic, and Fish Sauce.
  3. Now boil a pot of water with a dash of peanut oil in it. Once the water comes to a boil, slowly place the pieces of pork (in batches). Cook the strips for 30 seconds to one minute. This is a process of velveting that I've discussed in the past when it comes to other Asian dishes.
  4. As they cook, set them aside in a colander. Once everything is done, heat up your sesame oil and add cook your pork so it's golden brown on each side. Once it's cooked, add your sauce and cook for another 3 minutes.
  5. Serve with some tasty kimchi and rice!
  6. Enjoy!
