Giant Donggeurangttaeng (Kid-Friendly Pork Patties)
A giant, kid-friendly donggeurangttaeng you make big instead of fiddly small ones! Ground pork and tofu are mixed with onion and green onion, seasoned with oyster sauce and mirin, shaped into fist-sized patties, and pan-fried golden — a mild meat patty kids love.
