Spicy marinated pork belly

I was looking at this dwaeji bulgogi, korean spicy marinated pork and salivating. I do not have all sort of Korean's cooking ingredients in my kitchen so I figured out I will just sort of use the idea but incorporate what is available in my humble kitchen pantry.

I used thin slinces of pork belly and cut into 1x1 inch in size. I marinated the pork in fridge for about 6 hours using the below ingredients:

2 cloves of garlic, chopped
small piece of ginger, finger size, chopped
1 stalk scallion, cut thinly. I keep the upper part of the leaves for garnishing
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon korean chilli oil
1 teaspoon chili paste (cili boh)
1 tablespoon chinese rice wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil


Cooking is fairly simple. Heat up a little oil in wok. Pour the pork in and stir in medium heat. When the pork is cooked, stir in higher heat until you see the edge of the pork is caramelizing. Scoop and serve hot. Garnish with scallion.
