This is one of those things that you eat and immediately start thinking about when you could eat it next. The marinade is so flavoursome with this lean cut of pork, and sealing it with the crispy crust keeps everything super juicy. Noodles + greens on the side and you have an incredibly tasty and easy meal.
So this is basically an inauthentic riff on a bun bowl, but with coconut rice. It’s simple, delicious and the marinade can be used on chicken thighs or skirt steak too. This is a classic warm night meal in our house, we cook the pork on the bbq and nothing else requires heat so the house doesn’t get hot, perfection!
I couldn’t decide what to call this and was going to go with Lo Mein, then realised that through numerous. However it does have those tasty take out vibes and the noodles are coated in this slurpy yummy pork minced laced sauce and it’s served with stir fried bok choy on the side and a soft boiled egg so it’s great if not legit.
I love spaghetti and meatballs. I love Asian food. I also love green vegetables. Therefore, this dish is everything to me because it has all those things. Oh and chilli and sesame and they’re always my go to flavours. This is basically my heaven.
Yeah, you read that right. That word is definitely not Italian is it? But sugo is. Gochujang is a a spicy fermented bean paste from Korea. And it’s pungent sweet and spicy notes give a totally new and really interesting twist to traditional spaghetti and meatballs. I know it sounds like weird fusion cooking but it’s full of flavour and defines ‘winter warmer’.
I love dumplings. So so much. They are up there with my most favourite foods ever. Which is probably still a long list as I don’t like playing favourites with food… it’s all so good. I would normally serve these as an entree or nibble for friends or have them for dinner with a pile of steamed broccolini on the side because you know, health. The filling is juicy and flavoursome and the contrast between the crunchy underside of the dumpling and the soft chewy top is what eating is all about. The vinegary carrots add something a bit different to the garnish and some crunch.
