Ingredients
  

For the Pork
  • 1 pound Pork Belly Look for fresh, uncured slices that are well-marbled for the best texture.
For the Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons Gochugaru Korean red pepper flakes; substitute with paprika if needed.
  • 1 cup Soy Sauce Opt for low-sodium if you're watching your salt intake.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Natural sweetener; can swap with maple syrup.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Fresh ginger is ideal; ground ginger can be used.

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine gochugaru, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended to form a vibrant marinade.
  2. Add the thinly sliced pork belly and diced onions to the marinade, mixing thoroughly to coat each piece evenly. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour the marinated pork belly and onion mixture into the hot skillet and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once cooked, transfer to a platter and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot.
