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