So...made a crazy-awesome Italian-Korean fusion dish.
Gnocchi...but done with a spicy gochujang-inspired sauce.
What I used:
1 lb. ground beef 1 17oz. package of gnocchi 1 bunch of green onions (about 5...used the white parts in the dish, then one of the green parts as a garnish) Garlic Ginger Gochujang Spicy Szechuan sauce Soy sauce Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp
So....oil in a pan on medium heat. Add beef, break it up real small and season with salt, black pepper and red chili flakes.
Then slice up the white parts of your spring onions and add them in, mix and then add the garlic and ginger.
Once the beef is browned and the onions/garlic/ginger have cooked, add the gochujang, followed by the szechuan sauce. Mix to combine and coat everything.
Then add soy sauce.
In a separate pot, boil your gnocchi. Cook until they float up to the surface. Spider them out and put them in the pot with the beef and sauce. Coat everything. Add your lao gan ma. Mix everything to coat. Keep the water you cooked the gnocchi in just in case you need more liquid, and the starch in the water will help bind the sauce to the gnocchi.
Then once everything is to your liking, plate. Garnish with the green part of the green onion, thinly sliced, and some sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
Devour. :9
