Step 1

Pat the pork slices dry with paper towels so they brown better, then place them on a cutting board.

Step 2

Mince the garlic until the pieces are smaller than a grain of rice, then set it aside in a small bowl.

Step 3

Pour the soy sauce into a small bowl, add the sugar and gochugaru, and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is uniform.

Step 4

Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 60 seconds until the pan is hot.

Step 5

Add half of the pork slices in a single layer, spreading them across the bottom, and cook without moving for 2 minutes until the edges begin to brown.

Step 6

Stir and flip each piece, then cook for 1 minute more until cooked through, then slide the cooked pork onto a plate.

Step 7

Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining pork slices, cooking for 2 minutes, stirring and flipping, then cooking 1 minute more.

Step 8

Return all pork to the skillet, then pour in the soy sauce mixture and add the minced garlic, stirring constantly.

Step 9

Cook over medium-high heat, stirring once every 20 seconds, until the sauce is thick and glossy and clings to the pork, about 90 seconds.

Transfer the pork to a serving plate, then scatter the sesame seeds over the top.
