HOWTOMAKEJEYUKBOGGEUM

① PREPARE A PORK

- Cut the pork(bacon) into bite-size pieces.
- Put it into a large bowl.
- Add cooking wine, pepper and mix it.
- Set it aside for 30min at room temperature.

② MAKE A MARINADE

- Mince 1 large green onion root.
- Grind a 1/4 onion in a blender.
- Mix hot pepper paste, hot pepper powder, minced garlic, minced large green onion root, ground onion, soy sauce, sugar, ground sesame seeds and sesame oil.

③ MARINATE THE PORK

- Pour the marinade over the pork.
- Mix it well with your hands. Be sure to wear plastic gloves. Or your hands will sting because of the marinade.
- Marinate it over 2 hours in the refrigerator. (I marinate it overnight.)

④ PREPARE THE VEGETABLES

⑤ STIR-FRY THE PORK
