Be it for brunch or a game day appetizer, tater tots loaded like nachos with bold Korean flavors like pork, kimchi, avocado, and gochujang aioli are sure to be a party.
By Chris Cockren
As an adult, I’ve learned to embrace the ‘tots. Still not in place of fries of course, but as its own separate entity. Topped with all sort of goodness. For an unforgettable bacon and egg breakfast or a legit game day version of a loaded baked potato. 
And now, it’s time to combine bold Korean flavors with crispy sweet potato tater tots for a dish of epic totcho greatness: Korean Pork Sweet Potato Totchos with Kimchi, Avocado, and Gochujang Aoili. Oh, and a poached egg. Because… runny yolk. Duh.

- Heat olive oil a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, stirring and breaking into bite-sized pieces, until browned and just cooked through. Add sauce and stir, cooking for about 1 minutes, until it creates a quick glaze on the pork. Remove from heat.

Notes
To create a clean drizzle of the Healthy Gochujang Aioli, place in a ziploc bag and snip the corner to create a makeshift pastry bag.
