Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables for the donggeurangttaeng. Finely chop 100g of scallions, focusing on the white parts. Wash 100g of chives, pat them dry, and then chop them into small pieces. If using, deseed and finely mince 1 Cheongyang chili pepper for a spicy flavor. You can omit or adjust the amount based on your preference.
Step 2
Tofu adds a wonderfully tender texture to the patties. Take 1/2 block (about 150g) of firm tofu, place it in a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much water as possible. Removing excess moisture is crucial to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet and to help the patties hold their shape.
Step 3
Now, let’s mix the patty batter. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed tofu, chopped scallions, chives, and minced chili pepper. Add 300g of ground pork. Season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Then, add 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 Tbsp sesame oil. Mix everything together with your hands, gently but thoroughly, until well combined.
Step 4
To enhance the richness and binding of the mixture, crack in 2 large eggs. Add 50g of pancake mix (or flour) to help the ingredients bind together. Knead the mixture again with your hands until it becomes cohesive and slightly sticky. If the batter seems too wet, you can add a little more pancake mix.
Step 5
Almost done! Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and shape them into small, round patties. Place the patties onto the heated pan. Cooking over medium-low heat is key to ensure they cook through without burning the outside. Flip them occasionally until both sides are golden brown and cooked through. Enjoy your delicious homemade donggeurangttaeng!
