Sung Si-kyung's Zucchini Pork Stir-fry

• 1 zucchini
• 2 tablespoons salt (for curing)
• pork shoulder, as needed
• 1 tomato
• 0.5 tablespoon doubanjiang
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons cooking wine
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• sesame oil, as needed
• whole sesame seeds, to taste

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Do not rinse the zucchini after curing; squeezing it without rinsing allows the salt to season the zucchini itself, keeping it crisp and well-integrated.
• Doubanjiang is very salty, so add it gradually—about half a tablespoon at a time—and adjust to taste.
• Adding tomato brings acidity and umami, which helps cut through the richness of the pork.
