Gochujang Turkey Mince and Coconut Rice

by Fraser Reynolds

If you’re keeping an eye on the calories, this dish is a little lower than most, but you wouldn’t know it from the taste. If you’ve never tried gochujang before, you’re in for an absolute treat. A fermented red chilli paste from Korea, it’s slightly sweet, silently spicy and will have plenty of flavour dancing around your mouth. If you prefer a meat-free meal, switch the turkey mince for a plant-based version. Get stuck in!

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the red onion and fry for 2–3 minutes or until softened.

Step 2

Add the turkey mince to the pan and, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, cook for 4–5 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the gochujang paste, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic paste, ginger paste and honey. Add this mixture to the pan and stir it through the mince and onion.

Step 4

Allow everything to simmer for 4–5 minutes or until the sauce has slightly thickened, then stir through the spring onions.

Step 5

When ready to serve, arrange the gochujang mince on plates alongside (or on top of) the coconut rice, then add a blob of sriracha mayo to each plate and scatter over the sesame seeds.
