Quickie Korean Pork with Gochujang

Because I’ve been hackering for some Korean food lately, I went to the nearby Korean grocery shop to buy the Gochujang chilli paste. I didn’t add in all the typical ingredients other than adding in a tablespoon of the chilli paste, some strips of ginger and garlic into some slices of pork. Wanted a quick and easy stir fry that didn’t take too long to do.

It’s a pretty simple dish and I had accompanied it with stir-fry spinach. I’m not sure how to call this spinach since it’s one of those that are long and thin but supposedly good for people with high blood pressure, according to Granny.

My lunchbox(es)

This is how I bring my food to work. Pretty easy and simple since everything can fit into one small bag. It’s still a pretty darn heavy bag though because of the 3 glass containers but it’s easy carrying it in a backpack.


An orangey circular lunch bag that came as a set with some Tupperware lunchbox. I stop using the lunchbox since it was made out of plastic and started using glass ones instead. The glass ones aren’t perfect either because the top is still plastic. At least it’s less plastic that comes into contact with the food.

More info after the fold.

Mustard Pork & Other Food

Tonight’s pork marinade is German Mustard Sauce with some cumin seeds, just to give it a spicy kick to the pork. Added to that were strips of ginger and garlic. But I think I should have added in 2 tablespoon of garlic, rather than just one only.

The mustard that flew all the way from Germany. Ok, it didn’t fly on it’s on but rather carried in the bags of my German colleagues early last month.

So this is tomorrow’s meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner :

  1. Stir fried spinach (different variety from the chai sim) with sake and mirin sauce
  2. Mustard Fried Pork : need to find a better way to cook this without frying
  3. Sweet food : Dragon fruit. Granny’s plant is giving out small fruit every once in awhile and it’s a bit of a challenge to try and finish them all. Think I’ll try making some iced dragon fruit drink one day

Tomorrow is a fish day. Not sure what kind of fish I will be  cooking but it will be some bounty from the sea.
