Korean Spicy Marinated Pork (Dae Ji Bool Gogi)

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/162036/korean-spicy-marinated-pork-dae-ji-bool-gogi/

¼ cup rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

½ cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)

3 tablespoons minced garlic

3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root

2 tablespoons red pepper flakes

½ teaspoon black pepper

3 tablespoons white sugar

3 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces

½ yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick rings

1 (2 pound) pork loin, cut into 1/4 inch slices

¼ cup canola oil



Stir together the vinegar, soy sauce, hot pepper paste, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, black pepper, sugar, green onions, and yellow onion in a large bowl. Mix in the pork slices, mixing well until completely coated. Place into a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out any excess air, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 3 hours.

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices in batches, and cook until no longer pink in the center, and lightly browned on the outside, about 5 minutes per batch. Be careful when cooking the meat, the spicy fumes will hurt your nose!
