tbsp minced garlic

tsp ginger puree

Korean corn syrup (mulyeot)

sweet rice wine (mirim) (optional)

tbsp sesame oil

Korean perilla leaves (kkatnip) (thinly sliced, to garnish, optional)

In a large mixing bowl, mix together gochujang, gochugaru (if using), soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, rice wine, sesame oil, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss together to coat evenly. Let the chicken rest on a room temperature for 15 minutes.

Pork bulgogi is a Korean spicy pork stir fried with a spicy gochujang sauce. This Korean pork recipe is easy and quick to prepare in just 20 minutes.

Spicy Pork Bulgogi (Jeyuk Bokkeum)

pork pork

canola oil

Asian leek (or 4 green onion, chopped)

onion

Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)

sweet rice wine (mirim)

tbsp sugar

ginger paste

To make the seasoning paste for pork, combine chili paste, chili flakes, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, garlic, ginger puree, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl; mix well.

In a large mixing bowl, separate each slice of pork and put them in a bowl. Add the seasoning paste and mix well (Wearing a disposable food glove is helpful). You can make this step ahead of time and let it marinate in the refrigerator up to 24 hrs. Or you can go straight to stir-fry without marinating at all.

Heat 2 tablespoon of oil in a deep skillet or wok over high heat. Add 2 teaspoon of sugar and swirl the pan around. Let the sugar turn brown and caramelized.

Quickly add the chopped Asian leek (or green onion) and stir-fry for 30 seconds to infuse the oil. Add pork and onion. Stir-fry pork and onion until they are fully cooked and tender, about 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately with rice and lettuce (if desired).

Note: If your skillet is not big enough to stir-fry the entire batch of pork, divide the pork in half or in portion you desire. If so, you will need to reduce the amount of oil, sugar, and leek to caramelize per batch accordingly.

Is your kimchi getting sour? Turn it into a satisfying kimchi fried rice with crisp bacon pieces. A hint of gochujang and the sour kimchi juice make this Korean classic even more delicious.

Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbap)

seaweed

eggs (fried to sunny side up)

In a heavy skillet, cook bacon pieces until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a platter, and set aside.

Using a paper towel, wipe off the bacon grease remained in the skillet but leave 1 tablespoonful.

Saute onion in the reserved bacon grease until soft and tender over medium heat.

Add the kimchi and continue to saute until kimchi is soft, about 5 minutes over medium-low heat, then add Korean chili paste and kimchi juice to the skillet and mix well to incorporate with kimchi and onion.

Add the rice to the mixture and toss well. Try to separate the rice grains by using the vertical edge of spatula so that you don't smash the rice much.

Add sesame oil and sesame seeds, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper as you wish.

Raise the heat to medium heat and let the fried rice to sear for 2-3 minutes. This will help the rice on the bottom of skillet to be crisp. Adjust the heat, if needed, so that you don't burn it too much. Check the bottom of the fried rice to see it created desired crispness on the rice.

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with the reserved bacon pieces and crumbled roasted seaweed. To serve, add sunny side up fried eggs on top. Enjoy while hot!

Gochujang Tofu Rice Bowl

onions

broccoli

garlic

ginger

oz (520 grams) firm tofu

potato starch (or cornstarch)

tbsp neutral-tasting oil, divided

tbsp toasted sesame oil

soft-boiled eggs (or fried eggs), optional, to serve

sesame seeds, to garnish

Korean chili pepper flakes (gochugaru)

oyster sauce

chicken bouillon powder

tbsp corn syrup

mirin

black pepper,

(120 milliliters) water

cornstarch

tsp minced garlic

salt,

Thinly slice the green onions, separating the whites and greens. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the chili pepper (if using).

Finely chop the garlic. Grate a small knob of ginger. About 1/2 tsp would be perfect!

Prep Vegetables

To a small container, add Korean chili paste, Korean chili pepper flakes, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, corn syrup, mirin, and black pepper to taste. To that, add 1/2 cup (120ml) of water along with 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix together until it's well combined.

Make Sauce

Drain the water from the tofu. Give it a quick rinse under cold water. Cut the tofu into cubes and pat them dry.

Put 1/2 cup of potato starch into a tray or a ziplock bag. Add in the tofu cubes and give it a little toss, making sure they’re evenly coated. Set aside.

Prep Tofu

In a pot, place a steamer basket with some water (about 3 cups). Bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, add in the broccoli. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes or until they‘ve reached your desired doneness. Shock them in cold water and drain.

To a large mixing bowl, add the drained broccoli along with the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and salt to taste. Gently toss together. Set aside.

In a large pan, heat the oil (3 tbsp) over medium heat. Once it gets nice and hot, place your tofu one by one and cook for 6-7 minutes or until light golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Place the same pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once it’s heated, add the garlic, white parts of the green onions, and ginger. Saute for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Pour in the sauce, and boil for 2-3 minutes. Once the sauce gets thickened, add the fried tofu back into the pan. Give it a few stirs just until everything is nicely coated. Turn the heat off. Drizzle in the sesame oil (1/2 tbsp). Gently toss together.

Cook Broccoli and Tofu

Divide the rice into serving bowls. Add a generous amount of tofu and broccoli. Optionally, top with a soft-boiled egg (or fried egg).

Garnish with green onion, chili pepper (if using), and sesame seeds. Enjoy~!

Gochujang Pasta with Prawns 

pasta

tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

garlic cloves, sliced

shrimp

heavy cream

olive oil

tbsp kosher salt per 1L water for cooking pasta

pasta water

Parmigiano

butter

chives parsley

Cook the pasta al dente or 1 minute shy of cooking instructions.

Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and drain.

While the pasta is cooking, in a large pan, sauté the garlic on medium heat with olive oil.

Once the garlic has slightly softened, add the gochujang paste.

Lower the heat and cook the gochujang out to mellow some of the spice. The oil should turn into a beautiful red hue.

Add the cooked pasta and the pasta water. Simmer until the sauce has coagulated and starts sticking onto the pasta.

Add the shrimp and stir to combine.

Turn the heat to low, add parmesan and finish the pasta with butter. This helps the sauce stay glossy.

Optionally, finish with chives / Italian parsley / a little more olive oil. Plate. Garnish with more grated parmesan. Enjoy!!!
