Korean-style pork
Description
The recipe won't take much time. There are quite a few variations of Korean-style pork. This version is the simplest, as the main focus is on the sauce. Nevertheless, this dish doesn't become mediocre due to the simple combination of accessible ingredients—in fact, quite the opposite. Serve hot.

Step 1
1. The key to the success of this dish is, of course, the marinade. To prepare it, take a hot tomato sauce (if you don't have a suitable one on hand, you can use a freshly made sauce by combining chopped tomatoes with chili pepper), a little soy sauce and sesame oil (if you don't have sesame oil, it's not recommended to substitute another oil). Mix everything together. Finely chop the peeled garlic. Peel the ginger and grate it. Add a little sugar to taste and sesame seeds to the sauce. Add some hot pepper (if you prefer really spicy dishes) or ground paprika. Mix thoroughly. It's best to taste the finished marinade so you can adjust the flavor, adding more sugar if needed, for example.

4. The last ingredient will be onion. It needs to be peeled and sliced into medium half-rings. If the onion is large, it's better to use half of it.
