Instructions

Thinly slice the cabbage and onion. Slice the garlic and chop the green onions. Trim the root ends of the enoki mushrooms and separate them.

In a small bowl, mix together the doenjang sauce ingredients until well combined.

Heat a pan with a little cooking oil and add the garlic. Saute until fragrant, then add the onion with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook until the onion softens slightly.

Add the cabbage to the pan and continue to stir-fry. Once it’s nearly done, add the enoki mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook briefly until tender.
Serve the vegetable mixture over a bowl of rice, drizzling it with the doenjang sauce and topping it with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
