Cut the ingredients: to get your pork sliced really thin, freeze it first and then slice, either with a meat slicer, or a very sharp knife.

Cook the vegetables: grab your frying pan, add a little cooking oil and start cooking the vegetables over a medium heat. Once they are almost done, add the pork, sugar, soy sauce and cooking sake. Mix everything together in the pan and continue cooking before finally adding the gochujang spicy miso paste. A quick drizzle of sesame oil added just after you remove the heat will add a delicious aroma to your spicy pork don.

Serve and enjoy: the only thing left now is to serve your spicy pork on a bowl of rice and enjoy.
