Spicy Pork Sandwich (High-Protein)
Gochujang-marinated pork shoulder is pan-seared and piled onto a toasted brioche bun with a fried egg, quick-pickled cucumber and fiery gochujang mayo. Extra pork and an added egg push the protein well past a standard sandwich while kimchi and sesame keep the flavours distinctly Korean.

Instructions
1
Prep
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Whisk together gochujang, gochugaru, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and brown sugar into a thick marinade.
2
Marinate
Coat the pork shoulder with the marinade. Cover and chill for 20 minutes until the surface turns deep red.
3
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred and cooked through.
4
Fry
In the same skillet over medium heat, fry the egg for 2 to 3 minutes until the white is set and yolk edges firm.
5
Toast
Split the brioche bun and toast the cut sides in the skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
6
Plate
Stir gochujang into mayonnaise. Spread on both bun sides, layer pork, egg, kimchi, cucumber slices, scallion and sesame seeds. Close and serve hot.
