Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 2 bowls of steamed rice
- 80g pork belly
- 1/2 squid
- 6 shrimp
- 1/2 cremini mushroom
- 1 blanched dried shiitake mushroom
- 1/2 onion
- a small amount of broccoli
- a small amount of green onions
- 1 egg
- 1.5 tablespoons gochugaru
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- a pinch of black pepper
- starch slurry (1:1 starch to water) 2 tablespoons
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 cup water (about 200ml)
Recipe 🍳
- Slice onions and mushrooms into thin pieces. Clean and cut squid and shrimp into bite-sized pieces. Slice pork belly thinly.
- Heat cooking oil generously in a pan, add gochugaru, and stir gently over low heat to avoid burning, creating a clean, red chili oil.
- Add the sliced pork belly to the chili oil and sauté until browned. Drizzle soy sauce around the edge of the pan to develop a smoky, aromatic flavor.
- Add the prepared onions, mushrooms, and fresh seafood to the pan, then quickly stir-fry over high heat for a short time.
- Once the surface of the ingredients is cooked, pour in 1 cup of water and adjust the sauce to a slightly soupy consistency. Add oyster sauce and black pepper, then season evenly.
- When the sauce comes to a boil, gradually add the starch slurry in portions to achieve your desired thickness.
- Finally, add green onions and broccoli, then gently swirl in the beaten egg mixture. Serve generously over warm rice.
- Cut meat, vegetables, and seafood into neat, bite-sized pieces.
- Sauté oil and gochugaru to make chili oil, then add pork and soy sauce to create a sweet-savory base.
- Add remaining vegetables and seafood, stir-fry briefly, then add water and oyster sauce to boil. Adjust thickness with starch slurry and egg mixture, then serve over rice.
Cooking tips 💡
- Blanch fresh dried shiitake mushrooms briefly in boiling water before use to remove their sharp bitterness and greasy aftertaste, resulting in a cleaner sauce flavor.
- When frying gochugaru, avoid high heat—this causes it to burn easily and develop a bitter taste. Use medium-low heat and stir gently to properly extract the oil for better results.
