Snack. Boiled eggs (with mustard) and buttered toast.

Dinner. Gochujang-braised pork belly, with rice noodles. Picked daikon radish, on the side.

Workout. 30-minute-run. Sit-ups.

PREPARING THE GOCHUJANG PASTE. 
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang.
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar.
  • 2 tablespoons mirin.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
  • 2 teaspoons freshly minced garlic.
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly minced ginger.
Oh my, what can I say? We had a fat fest, what with unctuous slabs of fat alternating with pure meat in the pork belly. If not all—but some—of that fatty goodness was mitigated by the sweet-and-sour tang of pickled daikon radish.
