Ingredients
- 1/3 Pound Ground Pork
- 1 Ounce fresh mushrooms sliced
- 1-3 Tablespoons Gochugaru Korean Red Pepper Powder
- 1/2 Onion diced
- 2 Cloves garlic minced
- 2 Carrots chopped
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 Small Chuck of Ginger about 1/2 ounce - minced
- 1 Block Tofu cubed into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1.5 Cups Broth chicken, vegetable, and beef are all great
- 1 Bell Pepper
- 1 Head of Broccoli
- 1 Tablespoon Starch I prefer potato starch
- Green Onion for Garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the ground pork and mushrooms. Break the meat up before adding in the gochugaru - for a mild dish add just one tablespoon. I prefer mine pretty spicy (4/5 spice level) so I like to add 3 tablespoons of the powder.
- Mix the meat and mushrooms until the pork is thoroughly coated in the pepper, then add the onion and garlic. Continue cooking until the garlic becomes aromatic.
- Add in the carrots, soy sauce, ginger, and tofu. Stir the mixture to coat the tofu and carrot in the chili powder. Add in the broth and cover for about 5 minutes.
- Once the tofu is warm on the inside, add the bell pepper, and broccoli.
- Create a slurry with the starch and water.
- Once the broccoli is bright green, add in the starch slurry.
- Serve with rice or your favorite asian noodles (try kelp noodles for a low calorie option).
