Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Ground pork 150g
  • Bell peppers 4 (150-180g)
  • Mung bean glass noodles 50g
  • Garlic 1 clove (10g)
  • Ginger 10g

Seasonings

  • [A] Oyster sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Soy sauce 1 tsp
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [B] Soy sauce 1 tsp
  • [B] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [B] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [B] Low-sodium Chicken Broth Powder 1 tsp
  • [B] Potato Starch 1 tsp
  • [B] Water 150ml
  • Sesame oil 2 tsp to 1 tbsp
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Place the mung bean glass noodles (50g) in a bowl and soak them in water until semi-tender. This is key to achieving a quick one-pan result.
  2. Remove the stems from the bell peppers (4 pcs) by pushing them with your thumb, then cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. Remove the seeds and gently flatten the bell pepper halves with your hands before slicing them into thin strips. Flattening them first makes them easier to cut.
  4. Trim the root end of the garlic (1 clove, approx. 10g), peel it, and remove the sprout.
  5. Slice the garlic thinly, then cut it into sticks and mince it roughly.
  6. Slice the ginger (10g) thinly, then cut it into sticks and mince it roughly. Mincing the garlic and ginger creates punchy bursts of flavor as accents.
  7. In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce (1 tbsp), soy sauce (1 tsp), and cooking sake (1 tbsp). Mix well.
  8. In a slightly larger bowl, whisk together soy sauce (1 tsp), cooking sake (1 tbsp), mirin (1 tbsp), low-sodium chicken broth powder (1 tsp), potato starch (1 tsp), and water (150ml).
  9. Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat, add a small amount of oil, and stir-fry the ground pork (150g) until just cooked through.
  10. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the cooked ground pork and stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic and ginger, as this will result in a bitter taste.
  11. Add the thinly sliced bell peppers and stir-fry briefly to coat them with the oil.
  12. Push the ingredients to the side of the pan. Pour the prepared sauce A into the empty space and bring it to a boil to evaporate the alcohol.
  13. Once the alcohol has evaporated, mix the sauce with the ingredients.
  14. Turn off the heat and transfer the stir-fried ingredients to a bowl.
  15. In the same frying pan, pour the prepared sauce B and mix well.
  16. Add the drained, semi-tender glass noodles (50g) to the pan and gently toss to combine.
  17. Heat over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until the glass noodles absorb the flavor. Since potato starch is included, stir constantly to prevent sticking. Cook slowly and patiently.
  18. Add the stir-fried ground pork and bell pepper mixture back to the pan with the cooked glass noodles and mix everything together.
  19. Turn off the heat, then add sesame oil (2 tsp to 1 tbsp) and plenty of black pepper (to taste). Stir briefly.
  20. If the dish seems too watery, return the pan to the heat and reduce the moisture slightly.
