Monday’s Bread Bowl: Spicy Korean Pork Stir-Fry

A hot and spicy sautee

The Mixed Stew crew recommends this dish for anyone who needs a break from the norm.  Spicy Korean bean paste makes all the difference.

What you will need:

1 large wok

1 wooden spatula

3 tbspns cooking oil

3 garlic cloves, chopped

1 medium-sized bowl

1 yellow onion, sliced thin

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 bunch bok choy, leaves cut and separated

1 and ½ lbs pork, chopped into bite-size pieces

3 tbspns spicy and red Korean bean paste

Pinch of salt and pepper

Cooking and Directions:

Combine pork, onion, garlic, and spicy bean paste in medium-sized bowl.  Mix well.  Let ingredients marinade for at least 15 minutes to 3 hrs.  Then heat wok on medium-high heat.  Add oil to wok after 2 minutes of letting temperature rise.  Toss in pork, garlic, and onion.  Ingredients should cook for 8 to 12 minutes (depending on thickness of your meat cuts) while constantly stirring.  Let meat brown.  Next, add bok choy and bell pepper to wok’s ingredients.  Wait another 3 to 5 minutes until veggies cook through.  Remove wok from stove.  Serve stir-fry with steamed rice.
