Instructions
1
Prep
Mix gochujang, gochugaru, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar and honey in a bowl; toss pork tenderloin in the sauce and set aside.
2
Wait
Let the pork sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so the paste clings and the meat takes on color.
3
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add pork in a single layer and sear 2–3 minutes, stirring once, until edges char and no pink remains.
4
Stir-fry
Push pork aside, add sliced onion, julienned carrot and zucchini slices. Stir-fry over medium-high heat 3–4 minutes until vegetables soften; return pork, drizzle sesame oil, and toss 1 minute until glossy.
5
Plate
Spoon stir-fry over steamed rice, scatter sliced scallion and sesame seeds on top, and serve immediately.
