¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
1 pound fermented kimchi, chopped
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 medium size onion, cut into chunks
1 large green onion or 4 green onions, cut into 1 inch long pieces
1 small carrot, sliced
1 small bunch of enoki mushrooms, trimmed and washed (about 1 cup)
Lettuce, washed and drained
One sunny-side-up egg per person
For seasoning paste
2 tablespoons hot pepper paste
2 tablespoonshot pepper flakes
2 tablespoons rice syrup (or corn syrup, or sugar) (optional)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Mix seasoning paste
Combine hot pepper paste, hot pepper flakes, rice syrup, soy sauce, water, garlic, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Stir fry
Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the pork, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and ¼ teaspoon salt and stir for about 5 to 6 minutes until the pork is no longer pink and is slightly cooked.
Add kimchi and stir in for about 6 to 7 minutes.
Add onion, carrot, green onion, and the seasoning paste. Add 1½ cups water. Cover and cook for 12 to 13 minutes over medium heat until the pork cooks thoroughly and tender. Occasionally stir well with a wooden spoon.
Uncover and add the mushrooms on top as well as the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
Turn up the heat to medium high heat and let cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes uncovered.
Remove from the heat and serve right away.
How to serve
Place the stir fried pork in the center of table with a large serving spoon.
Diners take some stir-fry pork in their own bowl, mix it with some rice, a sunny-side-up egg, and eat. You can also wrap some in a lettuce or Napa cabbage leaf and enjoy it that way too!
