Equipment

1 griller

1 medium bowl

Ingredients

1x2x3x

• 1/2 sweet onion, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons gochujang or gluten-free gochujang
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon mirin
• 1 teaspoon fresh minced peeled ginger
• 2 pounds pork butt

Instructions

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, or preheat the broiler.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the onion, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, gochujang, sugar, mirin, and ginger until well-blended.
• Freeze the pork for 20 minutes, so it hardens and is easier to slice. Slice the pork into very thin pieces, about the thickness of bacon.
• Add the pork to the bowl with the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
• Grill or broil, flipping once, for 4 to 8 minutes, until cooked through. You can also stir-fry the pork in an unoiled skillet for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Serve hot.

Alternative Method: Spicy Sliced Pork in an Air Fryer

Spicy sliced pork in an air fryer is a delicious and convenient dish that you can make with ease. It’s a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods as it requires less oil. Here’s a step-by-step guide to preparing spicy sliced pork in an air fryer:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of thinly sliced pork (you can use pork loin or pork belly)
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) or chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon of minced ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional garnishes: sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

• Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, soy sauce, gochugaru or chili powder, sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a spicy marinade.
• Marinate the Pork: Place the thinly sliced pork into a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure each slice is coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
• Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
• Air Fry the Pork Slices: Remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator and arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Avoid overcrowding for the best results.
• Cook in the Air Fryer: Cook the pork slices in the preheated air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your pork slices and the specific model of your air fryer. The pork should be cooked until it’s nicely browned and cooked through.
• Check for Doneness: To ensure the pork is fully cooked, you can use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
• Serve: Once the pork is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired. You can also serve it with steamed rice, kimchi, or other side dishes for a complete meal.

Cooking tips

• Read the Recipe Before Starting: Always read the entire recipe from start to finish before you begin cooking. This helps you understand the steps and gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment.
• Mise en Place: This French term means “everything in its place.” Preparing and measuring all your ingredients before you start cooking can make the process smoother and prevent mistakes.
• Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh and high-quality ingredients. Fresh herbs, spices, and produce can make a significant difference in the flavor of your dishes.
• Season Thoughtfully: Season your dishes at multiple stages of cooking. Seasoning with salt and pepper as you go can enhance the overall flavor.
• Taste as You Go: Don’t be afraid to taste your food as you cook. This allows you to adjust the seasoning and make necessary adjustments to achieve the desired flavor.
• Control the Heat: Understand your stovetop or oven’s heat settings. Different dishes require different heat levels, so learn to control the temperature to avoid burning or undercooking your food.
