5-Ingredient Spicy Pork

• spicy chili paste (I like sambal oelek, but sriracha also works)2 tablespoon
• soy sauce↗2 tablespoon
• brown sugar↗2 tablespoon
• an inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated1
• garlic clove, finely grated↗1
• pork (fillet) very thinly sliced (see notes)1.5 pound
• vegetable oil↗2 tablespoon
• raw rice↗1.5 cup
• carrot, sliced into rounds↗2
• cooked spinach↗3 cup
• green onion, sliced↗2 tablespoon

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Shake all sauce ingredients in a jar. Pour the sauce over the pork and let it rest for 20 minutes to 1 hour.

2. 2

   Heat a good skillet for sautéing (e.g., cast iron) over high heat. Add a little vegetable oil.

3. 3

   When the oil is hot and shimmering, lay the pork in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook without stirring for 1–2 minutes until a nice caramelized crust forms. Flip and repeat to finish.

4. 4

   That’s it! Serve with rice and vegetables (see notes for details) and enjoy the flavor masterpiece.
