Recipe 🍳

  1. Bring water to a boil in a pot and add salt and vinegar to prepare for making soft-boiled eggs.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and create a whirlpool before gently adding the egg to form a soft, tender yolk. Remove and set aside.
  3. Heat cooking oil in a pan and add minced pork, breaking it apart with a wooden spatula to prevent clumping while frying.
  4. As the pork begins to cook, add soju, mirin, sugar, soy sauce, and doubanjiang in order, then stir-fry until thoroughly dry and well-coated.
  5. Boil the udon noodles, drain, rinse under cold water or remove excess moisture, then place in a bowl.
  6. Place a generous amount of the stir-fried pork topping on top of the noodles, then sprinkle sesame seeds and chili oil to taste.
  7. Place the pre-made soft-boiled egg in the center and finish.
  1. In boiling water, add vinegar and salt, swirl to create a whirlpool, then cook the egg.
  2. Fry minced pork, then season with doubanjiang, soy sauce, sugar, soju, and mirin, stirring until dry.
  3. Layer the cooked udon noodles with the pork topping, sesame seeds, chili oil, and soft-boiled egg, then mix together before eating.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When making soft-boiled eggs, swirling the water in one direction helps shape the egg neatly.
  • While frying minced pork, press and break it down with a wooden spoon or utensil to ensure even seasoning and better texture.
  • For those who prefer more spice, add extra chili oil or sliced green chili at the end.
