Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- ground pork 200g
- onion 1/2
- tofu 1 block
- green onion 1
- gochujang 1/2 tablespoon
- doenjang 1/2 tablespoon
- japanese soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- red pepper powder 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- water 1 cup
- black pepper a pinch
- sesame seeds a pinch
Recipe 🍳
- Spread 200g of ground pork evenly across the bottom of a pot or pan, breaking up any clumps.
- Layer half a sliced onion and one block of cubed tofu on top of the pork.
- Top with a generous amount of chopped green onion for freshness and crunch.
- In a cup of water, mix 1/2 tablespoon gochujang, 1/2 tablespoon doenjang, 1/2 tablespoon japanese soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon red pepper powder, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic until well blended. Pour this seasoning mixture over the ingredients.
- Once the liquid begins to boil, cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- After 5 minutes, remove the lid, increase heat to medium, and gently stir the pork with a spatula to break up any clumps. Continue simmering for 3–4 minutes to reduce the sauce.
- When the sauce has thickened slightly, sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper and sesame seeds to finish.
- Layer ground pork, onion, tofu, and green onion in a pan in order.
- Pour the mixed gochujang, doenjang, and other seasonings into the pan, cover, and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Uncover, turn heat to medium, stir to break up the pork, and reduce the sauce until it’s slightly thickened. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper and sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- You can substitute ground pork with thinly sliced belly pork, sausage, or canned ham—any ingredient with a porky flavor will work.
- Since the meat isn’t sautéed first, it tends to clump. Be sure to break up any clumps thoroughly during the final reduction step so the sauce coats everything evenly.
