Instructions

  1. Cook sweet potato tater tots according to package directions. Top tots with Korean pork, scallions, kimchi, and avocado. Drizzle with the gochujang aioli and sprinkle with cotija/queso fresco. Top with poached eggs and devour.

for the Korean Pork

  1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, toasted sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and ginger powder in a small bowl.
  2. 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.

for the Gochujang Aioli

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Season with Kosher salt. Can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.

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.

If you can’t find sweet potato tater tots, feel free to substitute regular tots.
