Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the Jeju Black Pork Hwangchil Jokbal from Samdacom. It comes vacuum-sealed for freshness and hygiene, preventing bacterial growth.
Step 2
Thinly slice the jokbal into bite-sized pieces. Slicing it thinly will result in a more tender texture. (Thicker slices will offer a chewier bite.)
Step 3
Prepare for beautiful plating. Lightly blanching some baby bok choy and having some tangy pickled radish ready will make the dish visually appealing and more complete.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the fresh vegetables for the Jokbal Cold Salad. Start by washing and thinly julienning 1/4 cucumber.
Step 5
Wash and julienne 1/4 carrot. This will add a lovely color to your salad.
Step 6
Wash and thinly julienne 5 perilla leaves (깻잎).
Step 7
If you’re using beet or red cabbage for added color, julienne them thinly. You can omit this if unavailable.
Step 8
Finally, thinly julienne 1/4 onion. Soak it in cold water for a few minutes to reduce its sharpness, then drain thoroughly.
Step 9
Let’s make the delicious mustard dressing! First, pour 3 tablespoons of soy sauce into a bowl.
Step 10
Add 4 tablespoons of vinegar for a tangy kick.
Step 11
Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar for sweetness.
Step 12
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for extra freshness.
Step 13
Mix in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for added aroma and flavor.
Step 14
Sprinkle in a pinch of sesame seeds for a nutty finish.
Step 15
Add 2 tablespoons of mustard paste (like Korean mustard) for its characteristic pungent flavor and aroma. Adjust the amount of mustard to your preference.
Step 16
After adding all the dressing ingredients, whisk well with a whisk or spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved. Your delicious mustard dressing is ready!
Step 17
Now, artfully arrange the thinly sliced jokbal and julienned vegetables on a round serving plate. (You can also add the optional baby bok choy and pickled radish for a more elaborate presentation.)
Step 18
Your vibrant and fresh Jokbal Cold Salad is complete! Doesn’t it look appetizing?
