Gochujang Fried Fall Squash Recipe By Tasty Food

GOCHUJANG FRIED FALL SQUASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Prep the squash: Cut the kabocha squash in half through the stem and scoop out the seeds. Cut each half in half, then cut into ½-inch-thick slices. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Cut the ends off the delicata squash, then slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, then cut into ½-inch-thick slices. Add to the bowl with the kabocha squash. Season with the salt, white pepper, sesame oil, and ginger and toss to coat.
• Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and let sizzle for a minute, until fragrant. Add the gochujang, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove the pot from the heat.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the potato starch and the panko. Sprinkle over the squash and toss to coat evenly (if the squash pieces do not have an even light white coating, add more potato starch and toss again). Press the panko onto the squash to adhere.
• Heat a few inches of canola oil in a wok over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a sheet tray.
• Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, use tongs to carefully lower the squash pieces into the hot oil. Fry for 4-6 minutes, until dark golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack.
• While the squash is still hot, toss in a large bowl with the sauce until well coated.
• Garnished with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, then serve.
• Enjoy!

SPICY OVEN-FRIED RICE WITH GOCHUJANG AND FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• If using uncooked rice, combine the rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a small, deep saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all the water has been absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, covered, then spread out on a large baking sheet to cool completely.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil to a large rimmed baking sheet, and add the sausage. Cut it into smaller pieces right on the baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to cook, 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, break the sausage into smaller pieces again, then cook until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Add the carrots, scallion whites, mushrooms, brussels sprouts and broccolini to the sheet pan, stir well to coat with the oil, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Cook until the vegetables have wilted, about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the gochujang, tamari and remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large bowl. Add the cooked rice and stir until evenly coated.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the rice, stirring to combine with the vegetables, then press the mixture down with the back of a spatula. Return to oven and cook until rice is getting crisp on the bottom, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once about halfway through and pressing down again. (If serving with fried eggs, begin cooking them about 5 minutes before the rice is done.)
• Divide oven-fried rice among plates or bowls and top each portion with a fried egg, if using. Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with the scallion greens and serve immediately.
