A couple spoonfuls of brown sugar

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Grab a jar, toss in the chili paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Pop on the lid and shake it up good so everything comes together.
02 -
Lay your pork slices in a dish. Pour on that sauce, stir it around till each piece is coated well. Stick it in the fridge with a lid for at least 20 minutes, up to an hour.
03 -
Put your cast iron or heavy pan on high. Pour in some oil. Swirl it around so the bottom gets covered.
04 -
When the oil's dancing, drop the pork in so it sits in one layer. Let it cook without touching for a minute or two until it looks golden. Flip and do the other side. If you've got a lot, do batches to keep plenty of space.
05 -
With pork out, dump spinach and carrots into the hot pan. Let 'em sizzle quickly and pick up any left-behind flavor.
06 -
Spoon rice into bowls. Stack pork on next, then pile on carrots and spinach. Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
To slice pork super thin, freeze it a bit till it's firmer, then use a sharp knife.
02 -
Keep the heat on high so you get nice browning without drying out the pork.
03 -
Cooking veggies quickly in those pork juices brings out taste and saves time.
04 -
Splash guard yourself with an apron and use sturdy tongs or spatulas so you don't get oil burns.
