  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) salt
  • Korean BBQ Lentils
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
  • 1 cup (250 mL) yellow onion, small diced
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) ginger, minced
  • 4 cups (1 L) cooked whole red (brown) lentils
  • ½ cup (125 mL) low-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup (75 mL) gochujang
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) toasted sesame oil
  • ½ cup (125 mL) water
  • Sesame Slaw
  • 3 cups (750 mL) shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded carrots
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) salt
  • For Assembly
  • ½ cup (125 mL) mayonnaise, optional
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) sriracha, optional
  • ¾ cup (200 mL) green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub and dry potatoes. Coat lightly with oil and salt.
  2. Bake for 50–65 minutes until the skins are crisp and the centers are tender.
  3. To prepare the lentils, heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in lentils, soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until sauce reduces and evenly glazes the lentils. Hold hot for service.
  5. To prepare the slaw, combine cabbage and carrots with rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and salt. Toss thoroughly and refrigerate until service.
  6. If using spicy mayo, combine mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl and set aside.
  7. Split and fluff each baked potato. Portion approximately ¾ cup (175 mL) Korean BBQ lentils over each potato.
  8. Top with approximately ⅓ cup (75 mL) sesame slaw. Finish with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional spicy mayonnaise.
