Doubanjiang, sweet bean paste, and an egg yolk topping? It’s going to be a flavour explosion in your mouth!💥💥💥

Leave the carrots and zucchini to the Koreans because we’re letting the meatiness of the pork and Dou Ban Jiang shine in the dish.

Get ready to slurp – it’s about to get messy and delicious!🤤

*If you can’t find Sweet bean pasta (Tian Mian Jiang), you can use Hoisin as a substitude
