Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean pork loin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 stalks Green onion, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Cooking spray or 1 tsp neutral oil
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochugaru, gochujang, minced garlic, minced ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the thinly sliced pork loin to the bowl with the marinade. Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for extra flavor).
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or 1 teaspoon of neutral oil.
Step 4
Add the marinated pork to the skillet, spreading it out into an even layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Step 5
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Step 6
Serve hot with steamed rice or lettuce wraps for a complete, low-fat meal.
