Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) beef belly, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 4 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, minced
- 1 cup bean sprouts (optional)
- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon water (to thin the sauce, if needed)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Thinly slice the beef belly, julienne the carrot, slice the onion and bell peppers, and chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced beef belly to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and crispy.
- Push the beef to one side and add the sliced onion, carrot, and bell peppers to the empty side. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring everything together and cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Whisk together the gochujang sauce ingredients in a small bowl: gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey or sugar.
- Pour the gochujang sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Allow to bubble for about 2 minutes.
- Add the bean sprouts (if using) and the chopped white parts of the green onions, stir-frying for another minute.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and the green parts of the green onions, and serve hot.
