Ground Pork and Cucumber Rice Bowl

• 250 grams Ground pork
• 100 grams Cucumber
• 100 grams Onion
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 piece Ginger
• 200 ml Dashi stock
• 2 tbsp Mirin
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp to 1/2 tablespoon Gochujang
• 1/2 tbsp of katakuriko + 1/2 tablespoon water Katakuriko slurry
• 1 dash Sesame oil
• 1 dash Vegetable oil
• 1 bowlful per serving Plain cooked hot rice

1. Chop up the onion, ginger, garlic and cucumber finely.
2. Heat some oil and garlic in a frying pan.
3. When the garlic starts to smell nice, add the ginger.
4. Then add the onion and stir fry over low heat.
5. When the onion has turned brown, add the ground pork and stir fry.
6. When the meat is crumbly and just about cooked, add the ingredients marked (dashi stock, mirin, soy sauce, gochujang) and simmer for 2-3 minutes until it tastes right to you.
7. Add the cucumber, then immediately add the katakuriko dissolved in water to thicken the sauce.
8. Drizzle in some sesame oil and turn off the heat.
9. Pour the mixture over rice.
10. Update: As of 2012, I make this with 2 cucumbers and no onion, plus about 200 g of ground pork.
11. I like it better with more cucumber now.
