Gochugaru Pork

Gochugaru Pork is a savory and spicy Korean dish that perfectly balances bold flavors with tender, juicy pork. This keto-friendly recipe offers a satisfying meal that's both easy to prepare and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients

• Pork belly - 300 grams, sliced into bite-sized pieces
• Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol) - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the gochugaru, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, keto-friendly sweetener, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the sliced pork belly to the marinade and mix well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Once hot, add the marinated pork belly to the skillet and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pork is browned and cooked through.
5. Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and stir for another 2 minutes.
