This Korean Fritters leans on gochujang and honey to do the heavy lifting. We steam the Pork for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the gochujang and honey elements, and pat the pork dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the pork. Steam over simmering water until just tender and vibrant, then dress while warm.

Stir in the rice vinegar and the rest of the gochujang and honey flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the carrots along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped perilla and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
