13. Stir-fried Pork and Vegetables with Soy Sauce

  • 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
