This dish is perfect when you want to enjoy plenty of both vegetables and meat.
Half an onion
Half a pine mushroom
One small carrot
Three stalks of green onions
A little bit of zucchini
One small bell pepper (It's from our garden.)
Three small jalapenos.(It's from our garden.)
Three cloves of garlic
I picked out only the vegetables from the fridge that taste better when stir-fried.
I season the meat in advance. You can add it directly while cooking, but if you 're sensitive to the smell of meat like I am, it's better to marinate it beforehand.
350g pork shoulder
1T ginger wine (Any kind of cooking wine)
1T Korean soy sauce
1T banana syrup (Agave syrup or sugar)
1/3 t ginger powder (using tumeric)
When marinating meat in advance, it's better to season it lightly, as you'll have a chance to adjust the flavor later.
Everything is ready to be stir-fried now.
Lotus root,as well.
Keep salt and soy sauce near the stove for extra seasoning.
Flatten the meat and cook it evenly on both sides.
When the meat is almost done.
Add the firm lotus root, carrots, and garlic first, and stir-fry them together.
Then add the onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and jalapenos, and stir-fry them.
Sprinkle 2-3 pinches of salt, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and stir-fry the vegetables are tender.
After tasting the meat and the vegetables, I added 1 tablespoon more of soy sauce today since there are a lot of vegetables. For the final seasoning, taste it and adjust according to your preference.
Add the green onions, give it one more stir, and then turn off the heat.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and plate the dish.
Stir-fried pork and vegetables with soy sauce is quite similar to making Japchae. But without the hassle of cooking glass noodles, it's much easier - just stir- fry the meat and vegetables together.
If you slice and season a large batch of pork in advance, you can enjoy a variety of dishes over the next few days-- like mapo tofu, japchae, pork bulgogi, bibimbap with pork, or a soy sauce stir-fry with pork and vegetables
