Jeyuk Bokkeum (Korean Stir-Fried Pork with Vegetables)

Jeyuk bokkeum is a popular Korean stir-fry dish made with marinated pork, vegetables, and gochujang (Korean chili paste).

Ingredients

Meat

• 1 pound pork shoulder or butt, sliced into thin strips

Vegetables

• 2 cups mixed mushrooms (such as shiitake and button)
• 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini
• 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
• 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Marinade

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated

Sauce

• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Recipe Steps

1. Prepare the marinade

Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.

2. Marinate the pork

Place sliced pork in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour marinade over pork and massage to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

3. Prepare vegetables

Cut mushrooms, zucchini, and carrots into thin strips. Set aside.

4. Cook the pork

Remove pork from marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

5. Stir-fry vegetables

In the same skillet or wok, add green onions and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, zucchini, and carrots. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

6. Combine pork and vegetables

Return cooked pork to the skillet or wok. Pour in sauce mixture (see below) and stir-fry everything together for 1-2
