Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add pork in a single layer. Cook 3–4 minutes without stirring until edges brown, then flip and cook another 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic. Toss constantly until the sauce coats all the meat and turns glossy, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle sesame oil over the pork and stir once.

  5. Step 5

    Divide warm rice between two bowls and top with the spicy pork and all the sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately. Top with green onion or toasted sesame seeds if you have them.
