Gochujang Brothy Beans

5 | 5 reviews
Brothy beans are a love language, and spicy brothy beans are absolutely everything you need and more. These Gochujang Brothy Beans rely heavily on Korean flavors, with some twists of fresh fall herbs and a cured egg yolk mixed in. It's fusion but in the best way possible.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg yolks, reserve the whites for another recipe!
  • 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion, sliced
  • 2 sprigs rosemary, stems removed
  • 2 sprigs thyme, stems removed
  • 1 inch knob ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang, add an extra tablespoon if you like extra heat!
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 (15 oz) can butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
Optional, for garnish
  • Fresh mint, cilantro, or scallions, roughly chopped

Instructions 

  1. Begin by adding 2 egg yolks to 1/4 cup of soy sauce. Use a spoon to cover them with a layer of soy sauce. Quickly "cure" these in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the recipe. (*Note: this step is completely optional, feel free to omit if egg yolks aren't your thing!)
  2. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to a large dutch oven and place over medium heat. Add half of a white onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 sprigs each of rosemary and thyme and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
  3. Add the ginger and continue to stir and cook for another minute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of miso paste, 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of honey and 2 cups of vegetable stock until smooth.
  5. Add the butter beans to the dutch oven and stir then pour in the gochujang broth.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and simmer for about 6-8 minutes.
  7. Serve warm with crusty bread and garnish with tender herbs, if desired. If using the egg yolks, remove them from the soy sauce and place them directly in the bowls with the beans. Enjoy!
