Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 leek (washed and finely sliced)
- 200 g white cabbage (finely sliced)
- 1 aubergine (sliced into thin wedges)
- 2 spring onions (finely sliced)
Sauce
- 4 tbsp gochujang
- 2 tbsp gochugaru flakes
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
Other
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 600 ml vegetable stock (add more if needed)
- 200 g lasagne sheets
- 100 g mozzarella cheese (grated)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Place a large deep-based pan on medium heat and add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Once hot, add minced garlic, sliced leeks, cabbage, and aubergine. Season with salt and fry for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Prepare Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together gochujang, gochugaru flakes, ketchup, honey, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Add Sauce to Vegetables: Stir in the prepared gochujang sauce into the softened vegetables and cook for a further 2 minutes to blend flavors.
- Add Stock and Lasagne Sheets: Pour in the vegetable stock and break the lasagne sheets into the pan, keeping them apart to prevent sticking. Cover with a lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, stir, and continue cooking until the lasagne is tender, adding more stock if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Melt Cheese: Sprinkle grated mozzarella over the dish and stir gently until the cheese melts and combines with the pasta and vegetables.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with finely sliced spring onions and sesame seeds. Divide into bowls and enjoy your spicy gochujang lasagne!
Notes
- You can adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of gochujang and gochugaru flakes.
- Use gluten-free lasagne sheets to make a gluten-free version.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, add a splash of plant-based milk or cream before adding the cheese.
- Ensure the pan you use has a deep base and a tight-fitting lid to cook the lasagne evenly.
- Watch the simmering closely to prevent the lasagne from sticking and burn; add extra vegetable stock as needed.
