Jeyuk bokkeum is pork stir-fried in a spicy sauce of gochujang, gochugaru, garlic and ginger. In Korea, it is on the menu of almost every casual lunch restaurant, and at home it is a regular weekday meal: quick, hearty and a little sweet.
Use pork belly or shoulder in thin slices, as they contain enough fat to keep the meat juicy. Fry over high heat and not all at once. This allows the sugars from the gochujang and rice syrup to caramelize on the edges, instead of the meat stewing in its own juices.
Eat it with a bowl of sticky Korean short-grain rice, some kimchi and butter lettuce leaves. Place a piece of meat and some rice in a leaf, fold it up and eat it in one bite.
