The Frugal Kitchen: Easy Generic Korean Pork

This dish is a bastardization of all Korean food, but it also uses ingredients that you can find in the average grocery store.  And it literally takes no time to make.

INGREDIENTS

2 large boneless pork chops or pork cut of your choice
1 Tbsp. mirin
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper, black
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 jalapeño cut into thin slices or pickled jalapeño, optional
1 Tbsp. cooking oil
Green onion sliced, optional
Sesame seeds, optional


Thinly slice the pork into bit sized pieces.  It's easier to do if the pork is still slightly frozen.  Place in a bowl with the mirin, garlic, sesame oil, sugar, salt, pepper and soy sauce.  Stir until all the pieces are covered in the marinade, cover and let sit for a half hour.



Place the cooking oil in the wok or large fry pan, when it's hot pour in the ingredients.  If your family loves hot food add the jalapeño at this time.  Stir fry until all the liquid is evaporated and the pork is nicely caramelized.



Serve over rice or noodles.  If you didn't add the jalapeño when cooking, add pickled jalapeño as a garnish.  Pickled jalapeño is not as hot.  Garnish with green onion and sesame seed if you wish.


Enjoy!

God bless,
Pam
