It's a dish that's easy to customize to your spice preference, and it's a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have on hand. Ready in under 40 minutes, it's a winner!

Zutaten (15 Zutaten)

3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
0.25 Tasse hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
0.33333333333333 Tasse seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 Zehe garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
3 Stück small zucchini, cubed
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Zubereitung (5 Schritte)

Prepare the Sauce

Combine 3 tablespoons gochujang, ¼ cup hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, ⅓ cup seasoned rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 4 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger in a bowl. Whisk the sauce together until well combined and set aside.

Prepare the Zucchini

Toss 3 small zucchini (cubed) with 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a large bowl. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to draw out the liquid. Drain in a colander, rinse, and let zucchini continue to drain.

Cook the Pork

Cook 1 ¼ pounds ground pork in a pan over high heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add 2 fresh cayenne peppers (seeded and minced) and ¼ cup sliced green onions (white and light green parts only); cook and stir for 1 minute.

Simmer with Sauce

Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the prepared sauce; simmer until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes.

Combine and Cook

Add 1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu (cubed) and the drained zucchini to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until zucchini is tender yet crisp to the bite, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in 1 sprig fresh cilantro (chopped).
