Tempeh provides a firmer texture and more protein.

Cut the carrot into thin diagonal slices.

Heat a pot over medium heat and cook the ground pork without oil until well cooked.

Add garlic paste and Doubanjiang hot bean paste, cooking for a minute to bring out the flavor.

Pour in 4 cups of water and add 2 teaspoons of Hondashi soup stock, along with the sliced carrot and bean sprouts.

Cook for about 3 minutes until the vegetables are well cooked, skimming off any scum that rises.

Add 4 tablespoons of miso paste using a miso strainer to ensure no lumps remain, stirring to dissolve.
