6-8 servings
Ingredients:
2 T olive oil
2 lb ground pork, divided
1 2" piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 T sugar
2 T tomato paste
2 sprigs basil, plus more for serving
1/3 c sambal oelek
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c unseasoned rice vinegar
2 T unsalted butter
Kosher salt
Ramen or spaghetti noodles to serve
Methodology:
Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add half of pork to pot, breaking apart into 6-8 large chunks with a wooden spoon. Cook, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 5 miuntes. Turn pieces and continue to cook, turning occasionally, until pork is browned on 2-3 sides, about 5 minutes longer.
Add ginger, garlic, sugar and remaining pork to pot and cook, breaking up pork into small clumps, until meat is nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes longer.
Add tomato paste and 2 basil sprigs. Cook, stirring occasionally, until paste darkens, about 2 minutes.
Add chili paste, soy sauce, vinegar and 2 c water. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 30-45 minutes. Add butter and stir to combine.
Serve with ramen or spaghetti. Top with torn basil.
