PREPARE PROTEIN
If Using Pork:
To make the marinade: Combine the honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, ground ginger, and salt in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Place the pork loin into a ziplock bag and pour the sauce into the bag. Marinade at least an hour.
Prepare grill to a medium heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill 5 minutes on one side, then flip and grill 3 minutes more, or until the internal temperature registers at 145 F. Remove from the grill, cover, and let rest for 3 minutes.
If Using Tofu:
Cover tofu slices with Go-Chu-Jang Sauce, salt, and pepper let marinate until ready to cook.
Fry the tofu slices over medium heat in skillet for 5 minutes per side.
Remove the tofu from the heat and set aside.
If Using Egg:
Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter. Cook your eggs as you desire; sunny side up, over-easy or scrambled (beat the eggs with a fork until well blended). Don't forget to top with salt and pepper.
