Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by heating 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the 600g of pork shoulder and stir-fry until it’s nicely browned, sprinkling with a pinch of black pepper to enhance flavor and reduce any gamey smell. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.
Step 2
Once the pork is about 80% cooked, it’s time to add the seasoning. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 3 leveled tablespoons of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of gochugaru, a pinch of ginger juice (or powder), a pinch of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the pan. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly over the pork and continue cooking. Be mindful of the heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 3
When the pork is well-coated and cooked with the sauce, add the thinly sliced onion and cabbage. Also, add the chopped green onion. Stir-fry quickly over high heat to wilt the vegetables slightly without making them too soggy – this is key to retaining their texture. Finally, drizzle a swirl of sesame oil around the edges of the pan for added aroma.
Step 4
Transfer the perfectly stir-fried Jeyuk-bokkeum to a serving plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nutty finish. Your delicious and speedy Pork Shoulder Jeyuk-bokkeum is ready to be enjoyed!
