They get a single minute over the flame and finish wilting in the residual heat after it is turned off. Their sharp, pungent scent is strongest at the white bulb end.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Cut 300 g of pork shoulder into bite-sized pieces and toss evenly with 1.5 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cut 80 g of wild chives into 4 cm pieces and shred 120 g of onion into thick strips.

    Keep the white root part of the wild chives separate since it has a stronger aroma.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a hot pan, add the onion, and stir-fry for 1 minute to draw out its sweetness.

  4. 4

    Add the marinated pork and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until fully cooked.

    The meat is done when the pink disappears and the sauce color deepens.

  5. 5

    Add wild chives and stir-fry briskly over medium-high heat for just 1 minute.

    Move on when the white stems turn slightly translucent and a pungent aroma rises from the pan.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat and let sit for 1 minute so residual heat can reach the wild chives, then drizzle 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, toss lightly, and plate to serve.

Tips

Add wild chives at the end to preserve aroma.
If the pork releases liquid, keep heat high to reduce and concentrate flavor.
