Korean Spicy Pork, or 'Daeji Bulgogi', is a flavor-packed dish featuring marinated pork stir-fried to perfection. This low-carb version retains the bold, spicy flavors while being suitable for a healthy lunch option.

Ingredients

• Pork belly - 300 grams, sliced thinly
• Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced into thin strips
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the sliced pork belly to the marinade, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until it's cooked through and slightly caramelized.

5. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
