Ingredients

For the sauce

  • 4 tbsp Korean chili pepper flakes (gochugaru)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2.5 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Small pinch of MSG (optional)

For the pork

  • 1 tbsp neutral-tasting oil
  • 2 green onions, white and green parts separated and chopped
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1.3 lb (600g) ground pork
  • 1 green chili (optional), sliced
  • 1 mild red chili (optional), sliced
  • 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • Generous pinch of toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
  • 5 cups hot cooked white rice (about 210g per serving)

Method

For the sauce

  1. Whisk together the chili pepper flakes, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, minced garlic, ginger, black pepper, and MSG in a measuring jug or small bowl until smooth.

For the pork

  1. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the white parts of the green onions and the chopped yellow onion, then saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. Increase the heat to high, add the ground pork, and cook while breaking it apart until mostly browned, about 3 minutes.

  4. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together over high heat until the pork is fully cooked and well coated, 2–3 minutes.

  5. Turn the heat off, then fold in the green parts of the green onions, the sliced red and green chilies, and the toasted sesame oil.

  6. Serve hot over bowls of warm white rice, topped with toasted sesame seeds.
