Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Cut the pork neck into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch). In a bowl, toss the pork cubes with a pinch of black pepper, a pinch of salt, and 1-2 tablespoons of cooking wine. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to tenderize the meat and remove any gamey odors.
Step 2
Dice the onion, bell pepper, and green bell pepper into similar-sized cubes. Chop the mustard kimchi into roughly 1-inch pieces. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry until browned on all sides. Once the pork is almost cooked through, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Stir-fry together. Season with additional black pepper and salt to your taste.
Step 3
Rinse the mushrooms lightly and slice them into pieces similar in size to the chopped kimchi. While you can cook them with the other vegetables, adding them towards the end helps preserve their pleasant, firm texture. Add the mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for just 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
Step 4
Now that all the ingredients are in the pan, add the slice of butter and let it melt, enriching the dish with its creamy flavor. Once the butter has melted, pour in about 3-4 tablespoons of your favorite store-bought barbecue sauce. (Feel free to adjust the amount of sauce according to your preference.) Stir everything together over medium-low heat for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly until glossy.
Step 5
Your delicious Got Kimchi Pokchap, a perfect marriage of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors, is ready! Serve it over hot rice for a hearty meal or enjoy it as a flavorful accompaniment to your favorite beverages. Enjoy this delightful culinary creation!
