Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Let the pork rest with ginger juice, salt, and pepper.
Season the rested pork evenly with the soy sauce, sake, sugar, green onion, garlic, onion, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds.
Slice the king oyster mushrooms, eggplant, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell pepper.
Mix the doenjang with the mayonnaise, heavy cream, and chopped peanuts.
Grill the king oyster mushrooms, eggplant, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell pepper in a pan.
When the pan is hot, grill the seasoned pork and put it on a plate, top with the doenjang sauce, and place the grilled vegetables on top to finish.

💡 TipThe maekjeok sauce made by adding mayonnaise and heavy cream to doenjang reduces the saltiness of the doenjang and so lowers the sodium.
