Ingredients:

• 8 ounces spaghetti or any pasta of your choice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 pound pork, thinly sliced
• 1 cup kimchi, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/4 cup pasta cooking water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork and cook until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and thinly sliced onion. Sauté them for a few minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
4. Add the chopped kimchi to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes slightly softened.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Add this mixture to the skillet and stir well to coat the kimchi and onion.
6. Return the cooked pork to the skillet and stir to combine with the kimchi mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. If the sauce seems too dry, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped green onions.
9. Serve the spicy pasta with kimchi and pork hot, and enjoy!
