Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- ground pork (or stew meat) 200g
- sundubu 1/2 pack
- rice 1/2 to 1 bowl
- green onion a little
- gochujang 1 tablespoon
- doenjang 1/2 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- chicken stock (or beef dashi) 1/2 tablespoon
- vegetable oil a little
Recipe 🍳
- Chop green onion finely and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a clay pot, add chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 200g of pork, then stir-fry until fragrant and golden.
- Once the pork’s surface moisture disappears, add 1 tablespoon gochujang and 1/2 tablespoon doenjang, and stir-fry again to fully coat the pork.
- Pour in 2 cups of water (measured using a paper cup), then add 1/2 tablespoon chicken stock to enhance the broth’s depth of flavor.
- When the broth begins to boil, add 1/2 pack of sundubu and about half to one full bowl of rice.
- Simmer gently until the rice releases its starch, thickening the broth, and the pork is fully cooked.
- Garnish with the green parts of green onion or scallions before serving.
- Heat oil in a clay pot, then sauté green onion, minced garlic, and pork until golden.
- Add gochujang and doenjang, stir-fry briefly, then pour in water and chicken stock and bring to a boil.
- Add sundubu and rice, simmer until the broth thickens, then finish with a sprinkle of green onion.
Cooking tips 💡
- Frying gochujang and doenjang with the pork first prevents bitterness and enhances the depth of flavor in the stew.
- For added richness, feel free to include leftover vegetables like onions, zucchini, or mushrooms from your fridge.
- The starch from the rice can cause the broth to thicken quickly and overflow—adjust heat carefully during cooking.
