Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 2- 120 g red onion ((4.2 oz), sliced into half-moons)
- 3 carrots ((net 450 g / 16 oz), spiralized)
- 150 g pork tenderloin ((5.2 oz), thinly sliced)
- ground black pepper (, to taste)
- 1 Tbsp lard ((preferred) or neutral cooking oil)
- 1 tsp white miso paste ((Shiro miso))
- 2 Tbsp chunjang ((Korean black bean paste))
- 2 tsp mirin ((sweet rice wine))
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Marinate the pork. In a bowl, combine the pork, mirin, and a light sprinkle of black pepper. Mix well and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Step 2
Prepare the sauce paste. In a small bowl, mix the chunjang and miso paste until smooth. Set aside.
- Step 3
Fry the sauce base. Heat the lard or oil in a wok or large pan over low heat. Add the chunjang–miso mixture and gently fry it for about 20 to 30 seconds, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. The paste should become glossy and aromatic.
- Step 4
Add the pork and onion. Increase the heat to medium. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry until mostly cooked through. Add the red onion and continue stir-frying until softened and fragrant.
- Step 5
Steam the carrots. While the sauce is cooking, place the spiralized carrots in a steamer basket and steam over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until tender but still slightly crisp.
- Step 6
Serve. Divide the steamed carrots between serving plates and spoon the hot jajang sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
