This dish is a popular Korean recipe that features tender slices of pork belly stir-fried to perfection in a rich, spicy sauce made from gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, and a touch of sweetness from sugar and mirin (cooking wine). Optional but totally worth it, adding a final touch of melted cheese on top creates a creamy contrast to the spiciness, making the dish extra delicious (and more tolerable to the spice sensitive).
