<Miwa’s tips>
・Rice wine and potato starch will hold in the moisture of the pork.
・You don't want to overcook this recipe otherwise it will result in the pork being tough and the veggies too soft.
・If you don’t have gochujang you can swap for miso paste or oyster sauce.
・Please adjust the taste with salt and pepper to your liking before you serve it.
