Ingredients

• 500 grams Pork tenderloin
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 3 Green onions
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 30 ml Mirin
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
• 2 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 8 Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the pork tenderloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onion, and set aside.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 4

Slice the green onions, separating the white parts from the green parts, and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, honey, gochugaru, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

Add the sliced pork into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. For optimal flavor, let it sit for up to 2 hours.

Step 7

Once marinated, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add the marinated pork, along with the sliced onion and white parts of the green onions, to the hot skillet.

Step 9

Stir-fry the ingredients together for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, add the green parts of the green onions, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the low-fat pork bulgogi with fresh lettuce leaves, using the leaves to wrap the pork for added texture and freshness.
