Easy and Delicious Pork Jowl Suyuk Recipe: Eliminating Gamey Smells
Here’s a recipe for pork jowl suyuk that melts in your mouth, boasting a delightful chewy texture and rich juices. You can easily make tender suyuk without any gamey smells at home, even without special techniques. Savor the deep, inherent flavor of the pork.
Ingredients- Pork jowl 600g
- Green onion 1/2 stalk
- Instant coffee 1/2 packet (e.g., G7)
- Doenjang (soybean paste) 1/2 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the aromatics to eliminate any gamey smell from the pork. Wash the green onion (1/2 stalk) thoroughly and cut it into large pieces. Cutting it this way helps the aroma infuse better during boiling.
Step 2
Among the aromatics, we’ll use instant coffee. We’ve prepared 1/2 packet of G7 coffee. Coffee is a secret ingredient that effectively removes the gamey smell of pork and makes the meat even more tender.
Step 3
Next, prepare 1/2 tablespoon of doenjang (soybean paste). Doenjang adds a savory depth and helps neutralize any pork odor. These three ingredients are the secret weapons for delicious suyuk.
Step 4
Now, let’s start boiling. Fill a pot generously with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the prepared green onion, instant coffee, and doenjang. When the water returns to a rolling boil, carefully add the pork jowl. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t boil over. Covering the pot while boiling helps keep the meat extra moist.
Step 5
After 30 minutes, check if the pork is cooked through by piercing it with a chopstick or cutting it in half. If no pink liquid comes out and it’s cooked all the way, turn off the heat and remove the pork. Let it cool slightly before slicing it into bite-sized pieces. To preserve the chewy texture of the pork jowl, it’s recommended not to slice it too thinly.
Step 6
Freshly boiled, warm suyuk is delicious on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with tangy kimchi or fresh lettuce wraps. Especially with well-fermented kimchi, you can enjoy the pork’s flavor even more deeply. Make your mealtime delightful with this delicious pork jowl suyuk!
