Hooni Kim’s Recipe for Pork and Tofu Stir-Fry With Scallions - WSJ

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add pork and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir-fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

Stir in garlic, ginger and onions. Stir-fry until pork colors, about 4 minutes more.

Stir in doenjang, gochujang and chicken stock. Simmer until meat cooks through and stock thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in tofu and simmer until it absorbs the flavors of the other ingredients, about 7 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
