Korean Crispy Fried Pork Recipes

KOREAN CRISPY FRIED PORK

Steps:

• Cook the rice before you make the pork, as it should be served and eaten immediately.
• Slice the pork into thin strips, about a quarter inch thick. Toss them in a bowl with the cornstarch until they are thoroughly coated. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• In a pan with sides, heat the fry oil on high heat until very hot. In batches, fry the pork until cooked thoroughly, and place on a plate with a couple paper towels to blot.
• In a sauce pan, heat some of the fry oil (about three teapoons), and add the garlic, gochujung paste, chilis, and cumin. Add a good crack of black pepper along with a pinch of salt as well. Stir well and allow to fry for a minute or two until everything is nice and hot and mixed. Add the pork and sesame seeds and toss in the pan, cooking for another minute or two, and stirring carefully yet continuously.
• Place in a bowl and top with scallions if you'd like them. Serve while still hot and enjoy!

KOREAN SESAME PORK STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Mix together 1 tbsp oil, the sesame seeds, soy sauce, mirin, chilli sauce and ginger. Pour over the pork and mix it all together. Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok. Add the pork and fry for 5 mins until browned. Add the peppers and spring onions, and cook for 5-10 mins more until the vegetables have softened and the pork is cooked through. Serve with cooked rice.

SPICY KOREAN BBQ-STYLE PORK RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Slice the pork into extremely thin slices, then transfer to a large bowl. This works best when the pork is super cold or partially frozen.
• Add in all of the ingredients besides the canola oil, then mix until the pork and the vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade.
• Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a pan over high heat, add pork, being sure not to crowd the pan, stir-fry the pork in batches until slightly crispy on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. If you're using pork belly, cook for a bit longer, around 6-7 minutes.
• Sprinkle a bit of sesame seeds on top, then serve with rice!
• Enjoy!

SPICY KOREAN PORK BELLY (JEYUK BOKKEUM)

Steps:

• Marinade: The day before cooking, slice pork belly into bite-size pieces: 2-inch squares, ¼-inch thin. (Note: Cut the pieces thinner than shown in the video.) Set aside. Smash and peel the garlic, then finely chop. Use the flat part of your knife to press down on the garlic to further break it down, then continue to mince. Place in a mixing bowl along with the pork, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and gochujang. Mix the ingredients together and set aside.
• Peel and trim the onion, then slice in half. Cut each half into thin half-moon slices. Place the sliced onions on top of the pork mixture, but do not mix. Cover the bowl with plastic and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• Garnish: Prior to cooking, trim and discard scallion roots. Fill a bowl with water. Line up scallions in a flat, even layer and use a sharp knife to cut them thinly, employing a slicing motion, not a chopping motion. (Slicing with minimal pressure will keep the scallions bright and vibrant.) Place sliced scallions in water and move around to remove impurities. Drain in a colander, then wrap in a clean towel and squeeze out remaining liquid. Spread scallions on a paper towel-lined plate to further dry while cooking the pork.
• Pork: Remove marinated pork from refrigerator and mix in the onions. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, 1 minute. Add ½ tablespoon oil and continue heating, 30 seconds. Add some of the pork and onion mixture in an even layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Lower heat to medium and let the pork cook undisturbed until caramelized on one side, shaking the pan occasionally, 4-5 minutes. Flip meat over and cook the other side, 3-4 more minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining pork in batches. Garnish with scallions and serve with white rice.
