Main Ingredients
- 500g Pork Shoulder/Front Leg
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 heads Bok Choy
Spicy & Sweet Marinade
- 2 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Korean Plum Extract (Maesilcheong)
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/3 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Wine (Mirin or Cheongju)
- 2 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Korean Plum Extract (Maesilcheong)
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/3 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Wine (Mirin or Cheongju)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the pork with 2 Tbsp Gochujang, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp plum extract, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1/3 tsp ginger powder, and 1 Tbsp cooking wine. Mix well to ensure the marinade coats the pork evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes for deeper flavor. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the marinated pork. Stir-fry, making sure to separate the pieces so they don’t stick together.
Step 2
When the pork is about 70% cooked, add the thinly sliced onion to the pan. Stir-fry together until the onions become translucent and mingle with the pork. Imagine the satisfying ‘sizzle’ sound as everything cooks together – it adds to the enjoyment!
Step 3
Finally, add the washed and chopped bok choy to the pan. Stir-fry briefly until it’s just tender-crisp. Bok choy cooks quickly, so avoid overcooking to maintain its fresh, crunchy texture. Once everything is well combined and heated through, your delicious Jeyuk-Bulgogi is ready! Serve hot over a bowl of steamed rice for a truly delightful meal.
