🔥 Home BBQ Tips: Spicy Pork Korean Gochujang Stir Fry (제육볶음)
✨ What Is It?
Spicy pork stir fry, or 제육볶음, is a bold and savoury Korean classic. Thinly sliced pork is marinated in gochujang (Korean chilli paste), soy sauce, garlic, and a touch of sugar—then stir-fried until rich, spicy, and caramelised.
GMGP’s version comes frozen in 700 g packs—just defrost and sauté for a no-fuss Korean meal at home.
❤️ Why Koreans Love It
- Korean soul food, especially among men—it’s one of the most common lunch choices in Korean offices, right alongside pork cutlets and rice soup.
- Can’t-go-wrong menu—spicy, savoury, satisfying, and incredibly moreish.
- Feels like something Mum would make on a busy weekday.
- Ideal for meal prep, BBQs, or sharing at the dinner table.
If Korea had a national lunchbox meal, this would be it.
🔥 How to Cook

Prep Tip: Defrost overnight in fridge or 1 hour at room temp. Pat dry slightly for better caramelisation.
🥬 How Koreans Eat It
It’s best with a bowl of steaming rice and a fried egg on top. Or go the BBQ route: wrap it in lettuce with ssamjang (soybean paste), garlic, and perilla leaves for a spicy, juicy mouthful.
