Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup dry lentils
2 cups water
2 cloves garlic
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ pound bok choy, leaves and stalks separated
½ cup water
3 tablespoons black bean sauce
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), or more to taste
1 tablespoon sweet soy glaze (such s Kikkoman®)
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 pound Korean rice cakes
2 tablespoons raw cashews
¼ cup water
1 green onion, green parts only, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Rinse lentils thoroughly. Combine lentils and 2 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook, checking after 20 minutes, until chewy but still firm, 20 to 30 minutes total. Drain.
  • Transfer lentils to a frying pan or wok along with garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Add bok choy, 1/2 cup water, black bean sauce, gochujang, soy glaze, and soy sauce. Cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Boil a pot of water. Add rice cakes; cook until chewy, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add to the lentil mixture.
  • Blend cashews with a 1/4 cup water in a blender; add to the lentil mixture and cook until flavors combine, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve with sliced green onion.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this dish. The rice cakes and Gochujang were the perfect complement.

Not bad, but I thought it was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less Gochujang.
