Spicy vegetable saute

I cook this dish when I feel tired and want to cook something quickly or want to clean the fridge. Almost any type of vegetables can be used for this recipe and you can add some meat or seafood as well! Korean miso is the key in this recipe, which is well-balanced between spicy and sweet. I usually add Japanese soy sauce, sake, tomato ketchup and honey in it to make the sauce a little milder. Here is a great fusion of Korea and Japan!




What you need today.....     (serves: 2)
  Any type of vegetables (However, I don't recommend tomatoes. they're too watery for this dish.), chopped in small pieces
  1 clove of garlic, chopped
  1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
  2 tbsp Korean miso(Gochujang)
  2 tsp soy sauce
  1 tbsp sake
  1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  1 tbsp honey
  1 tbsp sesame oil


     1. Firstly, mix Korean miso, soy sauce, sake, tomato ketchup, honey and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.

     2. Then, put vegetable oil in a frying pan and cook garlic until fragrant.

     3. Add vegetables and saute until they get cooked (when you add meat, cook meat first and then add vegetables).

     4. Add the sauce and cook another 1 min.

     5. It goes well with steamed rice. If you have fresh eggs, put egg yolk on top or make poached eggs. Mix all together when you eat!
