Mixing bowls
- 1/4 cup Light Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 2 tbsp Soju or Sake
- 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 2 tbsp White Sugar
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 12 oz Pork Belly thinly sliced
- 50 g Scallions sliced
- 200 g Kimchi chopped
- 2 cups Bean Sprouts
Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, soju/sake, oyster sauce, and sugar in a bowl and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat, then coat with the sesame oil. Add the pork belly and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly, until most of the fat has rendered and the meat is cooked through.
Add the scallions and cook until wilted, about 30 seconds. Stir in the kimchi and sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Fold in the bean sprouts and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the sprouts are wilted but still crunchy.
Serve with steamed rice.
