Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Korean meat with pepper? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Which cut of pork should you choose? For this dish, use the best meat, such as pork tenderloin. If the meat was frozen, defrost it by moving it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the pork and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into slices (about 1.5-2 cm thick) and lightly beat on both sides with a kitchen hammer. To prevent meat from splashing, cover it with cling film and beat directly through it.

Step 3

Step 3
Thinly slice the chopped meat slices across the grain into strips. The thinner you cut it, the faster it will fry.

Step 4

How to make a marinade? Place the dried ginger, coriander and red chilli into a small bowl.

Add sugar and potato starch. If you use cornstarch, the amount should be doubled.

Step 10

Step 10
Stir with a spoon. The marinade is ready!

Step 11

Step 11
Pour the marinade over the pork pieces. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the meat. Let the pork marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes. If time allows, put it in the refrigerator overnight, then the meat will be softer and juicier.

Step 12

Step 12
Pour vegetable oil into a non-stick frying pan (you can use a wok). Reheat well. It is better to fry the meat in small portions in two batches, so the meat will be better fried and well browned. Add enough pork to cover the bottom of the pan in a single layer. Fry it for 3-4 minutes over medium heat, stirring. Transfer the finished meat to a plate and fry the next portion. Cook all the pork this way.

Step 13

Step 13
Place cooked meat on plates. Sprinkle on top with coarsely chopped parsley or green onions, red pepper — sweet or hot, as you like. First cut the bell pepper in half, remove the stalk and seeds, cut into strips and lightly fry. If you like, sprinkle the meat with sesame seeds, lightly fried until golden in a dry frying pan.

Step 14

Step 14
Serve fluffy rice and vegetables as a side dish. Bon appetit!
