Ingredients

500 g minced pork
2 pcs udon noodles
15 ml sunflower oil
3 pcs garlic
3 pcs spring onion
30 ml Gochujang (spicy paste)
5 g freshly ground pepper
30 ml soy sauce
30 ml broth
30 g tofu

Steps

1
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and spring onions, then sauté briefly until fragrant but not browned.
2
Add the minced meat to the pan and brown it over high heat, stirring constantly, until crumbly. Cook until the meat releases its juices and then slightly browns.
3
Add the doubanjiang, salt, and ground pepper to the meat. Mix thoroughly, then continue to sauté so that the spicy paste releases its aromas in the oil and turns slightly reddish. Add the soy sauce, and if desired, pour in 2–3 tablespoons of water or broth, then simmer the mixture for 1–2 minutes.
4
Cook the udon noodles in plenty of boiling water for the time indicated on the package. Blend the tofu until completely smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
5
Serve the hot noodles with the minced meat and creamy tofu. Garnish with chopped spring onions.
