Sometimes you found a recipe and wrote it down on a piece of paper to try it out. Having done that, you forget where the recipe came from. Likewise this Korean recipe for pork, which turned out to be so delicious we have cooked it for everyone.
The marinade is simple to make and yet really packed with flavours.
For the Korean marinade you need
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 brown onion
- 1/2 a pear or apple
Blitz these ingredients together and then add
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman)
- 3 tablespoons caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- black pepper
For dinner for 2 people, 200g pork tenderloin is enough. Slice this thinly, and bash it to an even thinner piece with a meat mallet. Marinade in the sauce and leave it in the fridge for an hour.
Then heat a frying pan on medium heat with a teaspoon of vegetable oil and fry the thin pork pieces until browned. You want some of the edges of the meat to be dark brown and caramelised, if you can. Don't cook too many pieces or they will be too crowded and steamed instead.
Serve with rice and kimchee. I skipped the fried egg, but you can if you want.
I also love having it with blanched spinach mixed with
- 1 tablespoon soybean paste
- 2 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Sprinkle with sesame seeds at the end.
