Jeyuk Bokkeum (Spicy Pork Stir-fry)

Thinking of making a dish that is easy to cook which has a well balance of veggie, meat and goes well with a bowl of hot rice, and Jeyuk bokkeum comes across my mind!  This dish is easy to make and it's like a stir fry version of spicy BBQ samgyeopsal (pork belly) ^^

Step by step photos:

1. *Cut the pork thinly. 
2. Cut the cabbage into bite size and slice the onion, carrot, leek and red chili into thin slices.
3. Prepare the sauce by mixing well all the sauce ingredients.
4. Prepare a bowl, put in the pork and onion slices.  Add in the sauce mixture.
5. **Mix well with the meat and onion.
6. Cover it with cling wrap and let it marinate for about an hour in the fridge.
7. Heat up a wok/pan and drizzle some cooking oil in it.
8. Add the marinated pork in the wok and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes.
9. After the meat is half-cooked, add in the vegetables and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until all the ingredients are cooked.
10. Serve on a plate and garnish with some sliced leeks, red chilli and sesame seeds.  Enjoy!

Tips:
*Try to cut the pork while it's half frozen. It's easier to cut and get thinner slices of pork. You can use purely pork belly for this dish.  I use tenderloin to reduce the greasiness ;)
**You can skip the marinating part and straight away start to stir-fry if in hurry.  But, marinating helps to gets the flavor in and soften the meat.
