Bold ground pork infused with Korean spices, spring onions, and sesame. Delicious over rice or paired with fresh veggies.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 500 g ground pork
02 - 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
03 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
04 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
05 - 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
06 - 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
07 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar
08 - 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
09 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

→ Optional to serve

10 - Steamed jasmine rice
11 - Julienned carrots
12 - Pickled daikon radish
13 - Kimchi
14 - Nori seaweed sheets, crumbled

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Finely mince garlic and grate fresh ginger. Thinly slice spring onions for garnish.
02 - Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes until browned and beginning to caramelise.
03 - Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the browned pork. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Stir in gochujang paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the pork and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
05 - Transfer pork mixture to serving bowls. Garnish with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice and preferred accompaniments.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Adjust the level of gochujang paste to tailor spiciness. Substitute with equal parts sriracha and tomato paste if gochujang is unavailable, though authentic flavour is best.
