Main Ingredients
- 200g Pork Chitterlings (Makchang), pre-cleaned
- 1/2 Onion
- 1/4 Scallion
Seasoning Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (or cooking wine)
- 1/2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (or cooking wine)
- 1/2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the sauce, the key to a delicious Makchang Donburi. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of mirin, and 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce for added umami. Mix well to create a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and rich flavors.
Step 2
Next, prepare your vegetables. Peel and thinly slice the half onion, or chop it coarsely. Cut the scallion into bite-sized pieces on a diagonal. These will add color and flavor to the dish.
Step 3
Now it’s time to cook the star ingredient: the makchang. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the 200g of pre-cleaned pork chitterlings. Cook slowly until the makchang is golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Be careful, as it may splatter oil. Ensure it’s fully cooked through.
Step 4
Once the makchang is cooked, add the prepared sauce, sliced onion, and scallions to the pan. Stir-fry together over medium heat for about 2 minutes, ensuring the sauce doesn’t burn. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully, completing your delicious Makchang Donburi!
Step 5
This dish is wonderful served as a stir-fry on its own, but it’s even more satisfying and delicious when served over a bowl of warm rice as a donburi. For an extra touch, consider topping it with a fried egg or some shredded seaweed!
