Step 1
Mix gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork in a single layer and sear 2 minutes without stirring.
Step 3
Stir the pork, breaking apart clumps. Cook 2 more minutes until mostly cooked through.
Step 4
Pour the gochujang sauce over the pork. Stir constantly until the meat caramelizes and sauce thickens, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Fold in the white scallion parts. Taste and adjust salt or sugar if needed.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Top with green scallion slices. Serve hot over rice or in lettuce wraps.
