Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice lotus root to 0.5 cm, soak in vinegar water for 5 minutes, then rinse.

  2. 2

    Cut pork into bite-size pieces and marinate for 10 minutes with 1 tbsp soy sauce and ginger juice.

  3. 3

    Stir-fry pork and onion in a pot first; add lotus root once the pork surface is cooked.

  4. 4

    Add remaining soy sauce, gochujang, sugar, minced garlic, and water; braise over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    When the sauce is reduced, add sesame oil and simmer 5 more minutes until glossy.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat, rest for 3 minutes, and serve as a side dish.

Tips

Keep lotus root at least 0.5 cm thick so it does not break apart.
Searing the pork first reduces odor and deepens flavor.
